While on vacation a few weeks back we were able to have dinner with a very sweet family. The lady of the house is from Mexico so you can imagine we had some really good Mexican food :) One of the things we had was these potato wrap up things. Seemed simple enough to me so I gave them a whirl and they were super yummy..... though not super healthy. However, you can throw on all kinds of fresh veggies to help make it better for you :) They are kind of like a taco, just with a different filler.
What I used:
Corn Tortillas (about 10 of them)
4 potatoes (cooked and mashed)
veggie oil
tomatoes, diced
cheese, shredded
lettuce, shredded
sour cream
salsa
(get the idea? You can add whatever!)
Get your oil heated up in a skillet. You'll want enough oil to cover the bottom and then some. Take 4 or 5 tortillas at a time and cover them with a paper towel and cook in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Just enough to nuke them. Then, place about 2 tbsp of your mashed potatoes inside and roll them up.
Place them in your hot oil, be careful though because the oil will be very hot and will probably pop some. I use a handy little thing on top of my skillet, kind of like a splash guard. It comes in very handy! It keeps the oil from popping onto me!
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. These babies will be crunchy. Yum-o!
Once cooked remove from oil and place on paper towel to let the oil drain off a bit. Serve warm and top with all your favorite ingredients!
From my kitchen to yours, Enjoy!
