- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika

FOR SERVING
- 1 cup soy chorizo
- Tomatillo-Serrano Sauce
- Potato Flautas
- Vegan Piquillo Crema
- Arugula Escabeche Salad
Instructions
FOR TOMATILLO-SERRANO SAUCE:
- Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 to 8 minutes, or until softened. Drain and place in blender
- Add garlic, avocado, spinach, and salt and puree until smooth. Slowly drizzle in oil with blender running on low speed.
FOR PIQUILLO CREMA:
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
FOR ARUGULA ESCABECHE SALAD:
- Toss arugula, peppers, onion, and cilantro in a bowl. (Take care when handling chilies and peppers)
- Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
FOR POTATO FLAUTAS:
- Peel potatoes and cut into cubes. Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Do not cover.
- Drain and cool potatoes. Mash until creamy and add serrano pepper, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Warm tortillas and evenly portion filling in each, about 2 tablespoons each. Roll and close with toothpicks, 2 in each roll, spaced evenly apart.
- With caution, heat enough oil to come 1 inch up the sides of a heavy pan. When oil is 350°F, carefully place flautas in oil and fry until golden, about 4 minutes. Continue working in batches, removing from pan and draining on paper towels. Remove toothpicks.
TO SERVE:
- While flautas are frying, sauté chorizo in a small frying pan until crisp.
- Equally divide Tomatillo-Serrano Sauce among 4 serving platters. Place 3 Potato Flautas on top in each platter and top flautas with soy chorizo. Drizzle with Vegan Piquillo Crema and top with a little Arugula Escabeche Salad.
