This Loaded Potato Taco Bowl combines crispy roasted potatoes, seasoned taco meat, fresh veggies, and tangy sauce for a customizable and hearty family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, diced into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chopped lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup salsa or pico de gallo
  • 1 avocado, diced or mashed into guacamole
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños, black olives, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast them for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
  5. Drain any excess grease and stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  6. Prepare toppings by chopping lettuce, tomatoes, and onion, shredding cheese, and mashing avocado if making guacamole.
  7. Remove roasted potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Divide them among serving bowls.
  8. Top each bowl with taco meat and your choice of toppings—lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and avocado. Add optional toppings like jalapeños or cilantro.
  9. Serve immediately and let everyone customize their bowls to taste.
