Loaded Potato Taco Bowl

Print Recipe

A hearty and customizable dish featuring crispy roasted potatoes topped with savory taco meat, beans, corn, and cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey (93/7 lean recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 15 ounces black beans (1 can, 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 loosely
  • 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 without crowding. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Bake potatoes for 30-35 minutes, flipping at the 15-minute mark with a spatula to ensure even browning. They should be golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  3. While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook for 7-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until completely browned with no pink remaining.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion to the cooked meat. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes until onion softens and becomes translucent.
  5. Stir in black beans and corn. Cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Divide crispy potatoes among 4 serving bowls (about 1 cup potatoes per bowl). Top each with approximately 3/4 cup meat mixture. Immediately sprinkle 3-4 tablespoons shredded cheddar per bowl and let sit 30 seconds to melt.
  7. Add cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

Great for meal prep; store components separately for best freshness. Try different toppings based on preference.
