Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the diced potatoes. Boil them in salted water for about 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
  3. Once the meat is fully cooked, sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes, adding a splash of water if necessary to help the spices blend into the meat.
  4. Stir in the black beans and corn, continuing to heat for another 2-3 minutes until everything is warm and well combined.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the cooked potatoes with the meat mixture. Stir gently until everything is well-outfitted and seasoned.
  6. Top generously with shredded cheese, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
  7. Enjoy your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl immediately while it’s warm and cheesy!

Notes

Variations include using sweet potatoes or ground chicken. Prepare toppings while cooking the potatoes and meat for efficiency. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for about a month.
