Loaded Potato Taco Bowl: Easy Flavor-Packed Recipe

A hearty and flavor-packed Loaded Potato Taco Bowl featuring crispy roasted russet potatoes stuffed with seasoned meat or beans, fresh vegetables, melted cheese, and creamy avocado.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cooked ground beef or turkey (or black beans for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork, rub with olive oil and salt, and roast for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the meat (or heat beans). Add corn and tomatoes.
  3. Season the mixture with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Slice the baked potatoes down the middle and fluff the insides with a fork; season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spoon the filling into the potatoes and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Garnish with sour cream, diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For a crispier skin, bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack.
  • To make it vegetarian, substitute the meat with extra black beans or a plant-based crumble.
  • Leftover filling can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and used for tacos or salads.
