Time 1h

Yield 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 roma tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 jalapeño, seeded
2 teaspoons tomato bouillon
½ cup water
1 lb russet potato
2 tablespoons salted butter
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dehydrated onion
½ teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 corn tortillas
½ cup neutral oil, for frying
¼ medium green cabbage, shredded
½ cup crumbled cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a blender, combine the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, tomato bouillon, and water. Blend for 20 seconds, or until smooth.
  • Pour the tomato sauce into a small saucepan, then simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, until reduced by half. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, make the tacos: Add the potatoes to a small pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl. Carefully remove the skins and discard. Add the butter, paprika, dehydrated onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and use a potato masher to mash until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and microwave for 1 minute to warm (this will prevent the tortillas from breaking when folded).
  • With a spoon, spread the potato mixture onto one side of each tortilla, then fold the other side of the tortilla over the filling to seal.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 325°F (160°C).
  • Working a few at a time, place the tacos in the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes, then flip and fry for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Transfer the tacos to plates and top with the cabbage, tomato sauce, and Cotija cheese. Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!
