Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large potatoes, baked until tender
  • 1 cup taco-seasoned ground beef or turkey (ensure it's Halal) Substitute with shredded chicken for an alternative.
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, cooked
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) Shred fresh when possible.
Toppings
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the large potatoes for about 45-60 minutes until soft and tender, or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for quicker cooking.
  2. While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add your taco-seasoned ground beef or turkey. Cook until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in the drained black beans and cooked corn to the skillet with the meat. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Prepare the toppings by dicing the avocado, shredding the cheese, and chopping the green onions.
Assembly
  1. Once the potatoes are cooked, slice them open down the middle and fluff the insides with a fork.
  2. Generously pile the seasoned meat mixture on top followed by adding shredded cheese, diced avocado, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream.
  3. Finally, garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

You can store the Loaded Potato Taco Bowl in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze the meat mixture separately from the potatoes for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave or bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
