  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, diced
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Fresh lettuce, chopped
  • Cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • Pickled jalapeños (optional)
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. While potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Assemble the loaded potato taco bowls by placing roasted potatoes at the base of each bowl. Top with seasoned meat, shredded cheese, and microwave briefly to melt the cheese.
  4. Add fresh toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, avocado, and cilantro. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, reheat leftovers in an air fryer or oven rather than the microwave.
  • Adjust toppings to suit your taste, such as hot sauce, chopped red onions, or olives.
