Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then dice them into even chunks. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Spread the seasoned potato chunks on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  3. While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef or turkey and sauté for about 6-8 minutes until browned.
  4. Stir in the chopped red onion, chili powder, and cumin into the skillet with the browned meat, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Add black beans and corn kernels, stirring to combine and cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Assemble your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl by starting with crispy potatoes at the bottom, topped with savory meat mixture.
  7. Add shredded cheddar cheese, fresh cherry tomatoes, creamy avocado slices, and optionally fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve with lime wedges on the side and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
