Step 1

Start by chopping the potatoes (peel first if desired) and transfer to a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a generous pinch of sea salt. Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes or until fork tender.

Step 2

In the meantime, dice the onion, chop the cilantro, and set both aside for now.

Step 3

Then turn off the heat and drain the water from the potatoes. Add the vegan cream cheese and almond milk to the pot with the potatoes and mash to create a "chunky mashed potatoes" texture. You may want to add an extra tbsp or two of almond milk if needed. Add 1-2 tbsp of the chopped cilantro along with the salt and mix well. Taste to see if it needs more salt and season accordingly. Set aside.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step 5

Next, warm up the flour tortillas to prevent them from cracking. I do this in the microwave by pilling the tortillas onto a plate and covering them with a clean, damp cloth. Microwave for about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Then evenly distribute the potato mixture in the center of 8 flour tortillas, roll, and place onto a baking tray, folded side down to help them stay closed while cooking. Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray - like a natural olive oil or coconut oil spray - or brush lightly with oil olive, then top with shredded vegan cheese.

Step 7

Bake for 12-15 minutes, then turn the broiler to high and cook for 1-2 more minutes to melt the cheese. To serve, top with salsa verde, a sprinkle of chopped onion and the remaining chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
