Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dice the russet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  2. Bake the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through, gently flip using a spatula to promote even browning. They're done when golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
  4. To the skillet, add chili powder, cumin, and diced red onion. Stir to combine, cooking until onions soften for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Stir in black beans and corn, cooking until heated through for about 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust seasonings to your taste.
  6. Assemble your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl by layering crispy potatoes at the base, then adding the savory meat mixture on top.
  7. Finish with shredded cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream for guests to customize their bowl.
