Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup drained black beans
1 cup corn kernels, thawed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F
Toss diced potatoes with olive oil and season with salt
Spread potatoes on a lined baking sheet and roast 35 minutes, flipping halfway through while the beef mixture cooks
Break up ground beef in skillet, cook until browned
Stir in taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder
Add black beans and corn, simmer briefly
Assemble bowls with potatoes as base, then add cooled beef mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado
Top with sour cream and cilantro before serving
Notes
Use yellow potatoes for softer texture
Substitute tofu for ground beef in vegetarian version
Lentils may replace black beans for extra protein
Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream
Store beef mixture separately from toppings for maximum freshness
tomatoes (or red onion slices if unavailable) should be added just before serving
Olive oil on avocado prevents browning
