  12. Remove from the heat and set aside until you are ready to fill your tortillas.

For the taco shells.

  1. Use a 2 ½ inch (3 cm) cookie cutter to cut 4 mini rounds out of each flour tortillas (if your tortillas are jumbo you will get 6 out of each on)

To fill and cook

  1. To fill the tortillas, gently fold each disk in half and use an upturned mini muffin tin to keep it upright whilst you fill it.
  2. Add a spoonful of the potato mixture to each taco and then sprinkle with cheese.
  3. Cook the mini tacos for 7-8 minutes until the cheese has melted and the shells have crisped up.
  4. Serve garnished with cilantro

Notes

  • Standard sized tortillas with give you 4 disks per tortilla but the jumbo ones will produce 6 rounds.
