Description
A delicious and customizable taco bowl made with baked russet potatoes and a variety of toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 russet potatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 diced tomatoes
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 fresh avocado, diced
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the russet potatoes, then pierce them several times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake them directly on the oven rack for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender inside.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat. Stir in your taco seasoning and a splash of water, cooking until the mixture is well combined and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the beef is cooking, chop your toppings. Dice the tomatoes, slice the green onions, and prepare any other toppings you like, such as shredded cheese or avocado.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then use a fork to fluff the insides. Top each potato half with the seasoned beef, beans, and your choice of toppings.
- Serve the loaded potato taco bowls warm, and let everyone customize their bowls with additional toppings like salsa, jalapeños, or cilantro!
