Gather leftover mashed potatoes and shredded chicken from the refrigerator.

Warm up 18 corn tortillas in a microwave using a glass bowl, damp kitchen cloth, and a plate to cover them.

Prepare the filling by mixing shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, and cheese.

Fill each tortilla with the mixture, placing it in the center and folding it over, pressing to seal.

Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and add 1/4 cup of oil.

Place the filled tortillas seam side down in the pan, cooking them until golden brown and crispy, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid burning.

Transfer the cooked tacos to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Prepare the salsa by charring jalapeno, tomato, onion, and garlic, then soaking guajillo chilies in boiling water until soft.

Blend the charred ingredients with salt to taste to make the salsa.

Serve the tacos topped with lettuce, cotija cheese, and thinly sliced onion.
