Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold) Choose Russet for fluffy interiors or Yukon Gold for a creamier texture.
  • 1 pound ground beef (Halal-certified)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning Use a homemade blend if preferred.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup sour cream Greek yogurt can be used as a healthier alternative.
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • Optional toppings: diced onions, jalapeños, or avocado For extra crunch and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then pierce them several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until fork-tender.
Cooking the Beef
  1. While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 7-10 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
  2. Mix in the taco seasoning according to the package instructions and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
Assembly
  1. Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and cut each potato in half, gently fluffing the insides with a fork.
  2. To each potato half, add a generous scoop of the seasoned beef. Top with shredded cheese, letting it melt slightly.
  3. Finally, heap on the sour cream, diced tomatoes, lettuce, and any additional toppings you desire.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your Loaded Potato Taco Bowls warm, and watch your family dig in!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For reheating, the oven is best to maintain crispiness. Alternatively, microwave individual servings for a quick reheat, but the texture may be less crunchy.
