Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 8 small flour tortillas
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
Place the diced potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Mash them until smooth.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, ground black pepper, ground cumin, and chili powder.
Chop the cilantro finely and mix it into the mashed potatoes.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute.
Combine the sautéed onions and garlic with the mashed potatoes, mixing well.
Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
Place a tortilla on the pan and spread approximately 1/4 cup of the potato mixture over one half of the tortilla.
Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Cook the tortilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the stuffed tortillas warm, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
