Potato Taquitos - Turned out great! Very moist.. Today I am sharing this Potato Taquitos! A quick and easy dinner that is ready in under 25 minutes! Make potato taquitos, inspired by tacos dorados de papa. These taquitos are filled with mashed potato, bacon, onions and spices. These taquitos stuffed with leftover mashed potatoes and cheese are comfort food for Ruby because her grandmother used to make them for her when she was young. These Sweet Potato Taquitos are vegan and baked instead of fried for a healthy riff on one of our favorite fried foods. They're just as crunchy and great with some cashew cream sauce on the side.

Sweet potato taquitos are a regular meal on my rotation. I love the fresh taste of sweet potatoes and lime together. They're wonderfully tasty and filling, and I love that they are vegetarian! Cook the potatoes for a couple minutes and then add the cooked chorizo. Combine well and take a final taste for seasoning. drain potatoes and then add sour cream and cheese and mix all together as if making mash potatos.
