Mashed Potato Burritos

This would be an ideal meal to make of leftover mashed potatoes, but that’s one leftover I rarely seem to have on hand. But if you find yourself with some, these tasty burritos can be made in a flash. Adapted from The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet.

Serves: 6

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup rice milk, or as needed
• Salt to taste
• 6 burrito-size (about 10 inch) flour tortillas
• Your favorite salsa (tomato or tomatillo), as needed
• 1 cup grated vegan cheddar or vegan nacho cheese

Cover the potatoes with water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, cover, and simmer gently until tender, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, wrap the entire batch of tortillas in foil and warm in a preheated 350º F. oven or toaster oven.

Combine the drained potatoes and milk in a mixing bowl and mash well. Season with salt.

Divide the mashed potatoes among the tortillas, spreading some down the center of each. Spread a little bit of salsa over the potatoes, and sprinkle with the optional cheese. Roll up snugly and eat out of hand.
