Cheesy Chipotle Potato Breakfast Taquitos
Fall is my absolute favorite season to cook in. I love all things about it. And while I’m a pumpkin lover that’s not what I look forward to most. I look forward to the comforts of all the flavors that only fall offers. These taquitos aren’t your typical fall flavors but once you take a bite, you’ll smell the pumpkin spice in the cool, crisp air.
This recipe started as a dinner idea and, honestly, I was pleased with the recipe but it was missing something. The next morning my husband and I decided to have the leftovers for breakfast so I fried a couple eggs and chopped an avocado and we were thrilled with the results. After that I knew this had to be the star of a brunch menu. Trust me, all your guests will be obsessed with this meal and begging for the recipe.
Entertaining Tips:
Make the potato mixture the day before and store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to build the taquitos.
Assemble the taquitos 1-2 hours before your guests arrive and store in the refrigerator.
Recipe: Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 Yukon gold potatoes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp chipotle in adobo, finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
6 eggs
2 large avocados
8 tortillas
3 Tbsp butter, melted
3 Tbsp canola oil
16 toothpicks
To make:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Peel potatoes and chop into 1” chunks. Place potatoes in a medium sauce pan. Fill with water to cover potatoes. Place over medium high heat. Boil until fork tender, 10 minutes or so.
Once potatoes are cooked, drain the water and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes with the back of a fork.
Add cheese, chipotles, and salt to the potatoes. Stir to combine and set aside.
Combine butter and oil in a small bowl and brush both sides of tortillas with butter mixture.
Place about 3 tablespoons of potato mixture down the center of the tortillas. Roll up and secure with toothpicks. Place taquitos on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place baking sheet in over and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While taquitos are baking cook eggs to your preference. Fried is my favorite with this but any egg will be delicious!
Cut avocado into slices.
Serve eggs and avocado on top of taquitos and enjoy!
