Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 small red onion chopped
  • 15 ounces black beans 1 can, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, canned, or frozen
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Sour cream for topping

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • large skillet
  • mixing bowls
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the diced potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
  2. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, flipping them halfway through the baking time.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  5. Mix in the black beans and corn, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
  6. To assemble the taco bowls, divide the roasted potatoes into serving bowls. Top with the meat mixture, ensuring each bowl is filled generously.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each bowl and add cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream on top.

Notes

Feel free to use sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile. This dish can be made vegetarian by substituting the ground meat with additional beans or tofu. For added spice, include sliced jalapeños or hot sauce. Perfect for meal prepping - store components separately and combine when ready to serve.
