Ingredients

10 -12 small street tack style corn tortillas 
1 1/2 cup chopped cauliflower
1 tbsp of olive oil 
1 med onion sliced 
1 medium jalapeño seeded and sliced
1 cup of mashed yellow potatoes
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika 
1/2 tsp chili powder 
2 tsp tomato sauce 
salt, to taste
1/2 cup shredded vegan cheese 
oil, for frying 
TOPPINGS: salsa of your choice

Method

1. Warm up the tortillas to make them more playable.  Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel or paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds, so they don’t break. Or warm them up on the griddle. 
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil and saute the onion, and jalapeno over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 5-6 minutes stirring often. 
3. Add the cauliflower and cook for about 5-6 min. 
4. Add the tomato sauce,  salt, chili powder, cumin,  smoked paprika and cook the cauliflower for another 5 min. 
5. Add 1/3 water to the cauliflower mixture and simmer covered for 8 min or until all the water is reduced and the cauliflower is soft. 
6. Add the cooked mashed potatoes and 3 tbsp of vegan shredded cheese. Mix it well. 
7. On half of tortilla, place about 2 tsp of the filling mixture and spread it around. Fold tortilla in half and repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
8. Heat one inch of oil in a pan. Carefully, place the tacos in the pan, allowing them to cook for about two minutes on each side until they get crispy. 
9. Once they have developed a golden color, remove from oil and strain excess oil off on a paper towel.
10. Serve with your favorite toppings.
