Description

A hearty and customizable taco bowl featuring crispy roasted potatoes, seasoned ground meat, and fresh toppings for a flavorful and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  4. While potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  6. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  7. Divide roasted potatoes into serving bowls.
  8. Top with taco meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, beans, corn, and other desired toppings.
  9. Finish with sour cream and salsa before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with turkey, chicken, or plant-based alternatives.
  • Sweet potatoes can be used instead of russet potatoes for a sweeter flavor.
  • Adjust spice level by adding jalapeños or spicy salsa.
  • Store components separately for best freshness.
  • Air fryer can be used for crispier potatoes.
