Instructions
Creating your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl can be a straightforward and fun process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork. Rub 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 the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
5. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the meat is well coated and heated through.
6. Prepare Toppings: While the meat cooks, prepare your toppings by chopping the tomatoes, lettuce, green onions, and jalapeños.
7. Assemble the Bowl: Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven. Cut them open and fluff the insides with a fork.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot potatoes, allowing it to melt slightly.
9. Layer Ingredients: Top the cheesy potatoes with the seasoned meat, tomatoes, lettuce, jalapeños, and green onions.
10. Drizzle with Sour Cream: Finish off with a generous dollop of sour cream on top for added creaminess.
