1

Peel and cut the gold potatoes into cubes.

2

Boil water in a saucepan and add salt.

3

Add the cubed potatoes to the boiling water and let them cook for about 20 minutes or until soft.

4

Prepare the salsa by charring the tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, onion, serrano peppers, and jalapeno on a komal over medium-high heat until charred.

5

Remove the charred vegetables and blend them together with garlic cloves, adding salt, oregano, and cilantro, pulsing until chunky.

6

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-low and add the blended salsa, letting it simmer until ready to use.

7

Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool before preparing the beef filling.

8

Sauté onions in a tablespoon of oil until translucent, then add garlic for about a minute.

9

Add chopped tomatoes to the onions and cook until mushy.

10

Add the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and salt, cooking until the beef is browned and any liquid is removed.

11

In a bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, ground beef mixture, and grated wajaka cheese, mashing everything together until firm.

12

Wrap tortillas in wet paper towels and microwave for a few seconds to soften them.

13

Fill each tortilla with the beef and potato mixture, rolling them up tightly.

14

Heat 1 and 1/2 cups of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the taquitos one at a time, seam side down.

15

Fry for about 4 minutes, then flip and fry for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

16

Drain the fried taquitos on a plate, seam side up, to let excess oil drain out.

17

Assemble the plate with salsa, crema, queso fresco, lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and guacamole.
