Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, washed and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (ensure it's halal)
For the Meat Mixture
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For Toppings
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • to taste taco sauce (halal-friendly)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil and half of the taco seasoning to coat evenly. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they're golden brown and crispy.
  2. While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Mix in the remaining taco seasoning and stir until well combined.
  3. Once the meat is cooked, drain excess fat if necessary, then add black beans and corn. Mix well, and let it simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Assembly
  1. Once the potatoes are crispy, take them out of the oven and start building your Loaded Potato Taco Bowls.
  2. Begin with a base of the crispy potatoes, then add the seasoned meat mixture, followed by a generous sprinkling of cheddar cheese.
  3. Finish with a dollop of sour cream, a scattering of green onions, slices of avocado, and your favorite taco sauce for an extra kick!
  4. Dish out the Loaded Potato Taco Bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

For vegetarian options, swap ground meat for lentils or a plant-based meat substitute. Keep an eye on the potatoes while baking to achieve the perfect crispy texture.
