3. Step-by-Step Directions to Make Loaded Potato Taco Bowls

Preparing the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

Cooking the Meat

While the potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and a little water (as per package instructions), then simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Assembling the Bowls

Once the potatoes are cooked and the meat is ready, assemble your bowls. Start with a base of roasted potatoes. Top with the seasoned meat, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with chopped cilantro for freshness.
