Loaded Potato Taco Bowl

A warm and filling Loaded Potato Taco Bowl with roasted potatoes, seasoned meat, beans, and fresh toppings for a cozy meal.

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, loosely packed and chopped
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Sour cream, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet (13×18 inches) with parchment or foil.
  2. Spread diced potatoes in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Roast potatoes for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  4. While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook for 7–8 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
  5. Add chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion to the meat. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until onion softens.
  6. Stir in black beans and corn. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Divide crispy potatoes among 4 bowls (about 1 cup each). Top each with about 3/4 cup meat mixture.
  8. Sprinkle 3–4 tablespoons shredded cheddar over each bowl; let sit 30 seconds to melt.
  9. Add cherry tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

Serve warm so the cheese melts just a bit and the potatoes stay crisp. Offer extra sour cream and hot sauce for personalizing heat levels. Perfect for leftovers and meal prep.
