Description
A delicious twist on classic comfort food, Taco Potatoes combine hearty flavors with vibrant taco seasonings for a family-friendly meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large baking potatoes
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce the potatoes with a fork. Rub them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
- While the potatoes bake, heat a skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef thoroughly, then stir in the taco seasoning and follow the package instructions for optimal flavor.
- Once the potatoes are baked and cooled slightly, carefully cut them open and fluff the insides with a fork to create room for your toppings.
- Generously layer the seasoned beef over the potatoes, then sprinkle with shredded cheese, letting it melt slightly from the warmth of the potato.
- Complete your Taco Potatoes with a hearty scoop of chopped lettuce, sour cream, and salsa. Serve hot and savor every comforting bite!
Notes
For a richer flavor, drizzle lime juice over the toppings. For an extra cheesy experience, return the assembled potatoes to the oven for a few minutes before adding cold toppings.
