Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing and peeling (if preferred) your potatoes. Cut them into small, bite-sized cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  3. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the taco seasoning, and toss until well coated.
Cooking
  1. In a separate skillet over medium heat, combine the black beans and corn. Stir occasionally until heated through—about 5 minutes.
Assembly
  1. In serving bowls, layer the seasoned potatoes, followed by the black beans and corn mixture. Top with diced avocado, salsa, and fresh cilantro.
  2. Serve with lime wedges alongside for zest, and enjoy your Soft Potato Taco Bowl!
