Number Of Ingredients 6

Fresh Salsa Mexicana, or purchased
2 medium (1/2-pound) potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
4 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas
2 teaspoons vegetable oil or lard

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the salsa if using homemade. Then, in a saucepan, cook the potatoes in water to cover until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and mash with oil, or butter, and season with salt. Soften corn tortillas in a hot dry skillet until limp, 10 to 12 seconds. Fill each with about 3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes and fold in half. 2. Brush the outside of each taco with oil. Put in a hot skillet and cook the tacos, turning, until just starting to brown, but still pliable. Serve with fresh salsa. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
