Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Loaded Potato Taco Bowl
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dice your potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Spread them on a baking sheet.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even browning. They are ready when golden and crispy outside while fluffy inside.
  3. While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook until browned for about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion into the browned meat. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until onions are soft and translucent.
  5. Add drained black beans and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine. Warm through for about 2-3 minutes and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Assemble your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl by starting with a base of crispy roasted potatoes, layering the meat and bean mixture on top.
  7. Garnish the bowl with shredded cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.
  8. Serve the bowl with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream on the side.
