Boil the Potato: Place the peeled potato in a saucepan, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender (approximately 20 minutes).
Sauté Aromatics: While the potato boils, melt 1 teaspoon of plant-based butter in a skillet. Sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent (3-5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Set aside.
Prepare the Filling: Drain the cooked potato and transfer it to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of plant-based butter and almond milk. Season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth. Mix in the sautéed onion and garlic until well combined.
Assemble the Tacos: Heat the tortillas in a skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture down one side of each tortilla; fold over to create a taco shape.
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Air Fry Tacos: Place the tacos in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Mist lightly with avocado oil cooking spray. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook to Perfection: Air fry until the tacos are golden brown and crispy (9-10 minutes). Turn the tacos over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry for an additional 4-5 minutes.
