Description

Loaded Potato Taco Bowl is a hearty, flavorful bowl with crispy roasted potatoes, seasoned meat, beans, cheese, and fresh toppings—perfect for a customizable meal.


Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced (3/4-inch pieces)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey (93/7 lean recommended)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Sour cream for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread diced potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Bake potatoes 30–35 minutes, flipping at 15 minutes, until golden and crispy on edges.
  3. While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook 7–8 minutes, breaking it up, until browned.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion to meat. Cook 5 minutes until onion softens.
  5. Stir in black beans and corn. Cook 3–4 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Divide roasted potatoes among 4 bowls. Top each with 3/4 cup meat mixture and sprinkle cheddar cheese. Let sit 30 seconds to melt.
  7. Add cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream.

Notes
