Cooking Instructions

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Vegan Air Fryer Taquitos.

Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients for a seamless cooking experience.
Step 2
Start by placing a peeled potato in a saucepan, covering it with salted water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a vigorous boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the potato is tender, which should take about 20 minutes.
Step 4
While the potato is cooking, melt a teaspoon of plant-based butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Toss in the diced onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, taking around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic and let it cook for an additional minute, allowing the fragrant aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 7
Once the potato is cooked, drain it and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Step 8
Incorporate a quarter cup of plant-based butter and two tablespoons of almond milk, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 9
Mash the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency, then fold in the sautéed onion and garlic until everything is well blended.
Step 10
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or directly over the flame of a gas stove until they are soft and pliable.
Step 11
Take about three tablespoons of the potato mixture and place it down the center of each tortilla.
Step 12
Fold the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly to create a delicious taquito.
Step 13
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 14
Arrange the taquitos in the air fryer basket, ensuring they have enough space to crisp up without touching each other.
Step 15
Lightly mist them with avocado oil cooking spray for that perfect golden finish.
Step 16
Air-fry the taquitos for 6 to 9 minutes until they achieve a delightful golden brown and crispy texture.
Step 17
Flip them halfway through the cooking time, mist with a bit more avocado oil, and continue air-frying for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until they are fully cooked.
Step 18
Enjoy your crispy, flavorful taquitos as a delightful snack or meal!.
