Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and cut sweet potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

  2. 2

    Sauté Kale

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sautéed kale, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  4. 4

    Fill Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto each tortilla and roll tightly to form a taquito.

  5. 5

    Cook Taquitos

    In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary, and place the taquitos seam-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.
