Makes about 12
3 cups cooked mashed potatoes, (I used a 4 ounce pack dried and they were great)
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Cor tortillas
Oil for frying
Avocado Crema for serving, see below
Combine cooled mashed potatoes with cheese, mix to combine
Warm tortillas slightly (just enough to make them pliable) and put about 2 tablespoons of the mash on each tortilla, spread across and roll up - use a little mash to help seal them shut
When ready to fry, heat about an inch of oil in a medium pan to 350
Cook taquitos, turning to het them until golden brown all the way around
Serve with the avocado crema
Avocado Crema
1 ripe avocado, peeled
2 tablespoons diced white or yellow onion
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Juice of 1/2 lime
Pinch kosher salt & coarse ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons sour cream, or more if you like it creamier
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mashing avocado and mixing well to combine
Refrigerate until ready to use
