Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes. Poke holes in each potato with a fork, then coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
3. Bake Potatoes: Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes or until tender.
4. Cook Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
5. Add Taco Seasoning: Add the taco seasoning and a splash of water to the meat. Stir well and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Prepare Toppings: While the meat cooks, chop the tomatoes, lettuce, green onions, and avocado.
7. Assemble Bowls: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Cut each potato in half and fluff the insides with a fork.
8. Layer Ingredients: Top each potato half with seasoned meat, cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, lettuce, green onions, avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
9. Serve Hot: Serve the loaded potato taco bowls immediately while the potatoes are hot.
