Flautas de Papa

Flautas de Papa are crispy rolled tortillas filled with seasoned mashed potatoes, perfect for a hearty vegan breakfast. Served with fresh salsa and avocado, they offer a delightful combination of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

• Potatoes - 400 grams
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Salsa - for serving

Steps

1. Peel and dice the potatoes, then boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
2. While the potatoes are boiling, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Drain the boiled potatoes and mash them in a bowl. Add the sautéed onion and garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined.
4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
5. Take a tortilla, place 2 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center, and roll it tightly into a flauta shape. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
6. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the flautas for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sliced avocado and salsa.
