Easy, tasty, and made-in-minutes is the name of the game with this delicious recipe! And if you've been searching for a new dinner recipe that only take a few minutes, this recipe is your answer.
With so much going on in the world, with our families and friends, with our work and to-do lists a mile long, sometimes the last thing we want to do at the end of the day is cook a meal from start to finish. Some days, it can be downright exhausting! That's why we are big fans of Minute Mashers™ Mashed Potatoes from Green Giant™ Fresh – it's the healthy side without the hassle! Minute Mashers™ are real, whole potatoes just like the ones you buy from the grocery store. Alongside the real potatoes are real butter and chef-inspired seasonings so all of the work is done for you.
Green Giant™ Fresh offers Minute Mashers™ in three different flavors including: Buttery Sea & Pepper, Buttery Chive & Dill, or Buttery Roasted Garlic which means there's a Minute Mashers™ flavor for everyone! For our latest recipe, we're using the Buttery Sea Salt & Pepper flavor for our Minute Mashers™ Mashed Potato Flautas! We love using Minute Mashers as a base in some of our favorite mashed potato recipes like shepherd's pie, pierogis, waffles, muffins, and now Flautas!
These Mashed Potato Flautas are going to be a staple in your recipe routine. Of course they're super easy and quick to make, but they're also really tasty and totally customizable! We kept it vegetarian by keeping the filling to mashed potatoes and cheese, but here's a few ways to mix it up:
- Protein: Try adding shredded chicken, crumbled tofu, or beans for a little extra protein!
- Cheese: You can truly use whatever type of cheese you like – mozzarella, or cheddar would work well in this dish.
- Toppings: Go wild! Add hot sauce, sour cream, shredded cabbage, pickled radish, or jalapeno.
- Spice: If you like things a little extra spicy, swap the jalapeno in our Avocado Crema for serrano peppers.
