Method
step 1
In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with the grated cheese, spring onions, adobo sauce and salt to taste.
step 2
Heat the tortillas on a flat griddle or large frying pan until they soften, then divide the potato mixture between them and roll them up tightly. Arrange with the join facing down or close them with a toothpick.
step 3
Heat enough oil for deep-frying in a deep fryer or deep, heavy pan to 190C or until a cube of bread browns in 10 seconds. Fry the tacos, in batches, until golden, transferring them to a metal colander when they are done to drain excess oil.
step 4
Put a layer of lettuce or cabbage on a serving plate, then add the tacos and garnish with guacamole, soured cream and crumbled cheese. Serve with chilli sauce or salsa.
