Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 3/4-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey (93/7 lean recommended)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges for serving
- Sour cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread diced potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping at 15 minutes for even browning, until golden and crispy.
- While potatoes bake, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook ground meat 7–8 minutes, breaking it up until fully browned.
- Add chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion. Cook 5 minutes until onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in black beans and corn, cooking 3–4 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning.
- Divide crispy potatoes among 4 bowls. Top each with meat mixture (approx. 3/4 cup per bowl).
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and let melt for 30 seconds.
- Add cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream.
Notes
- Store roasted potatoes and meat mixture separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Keep fresh toppings separate.
- Reheat potatoes in oven at 400°F for 6–8 minutes for crispiness. Reheat meat in microwave 90 seconds to 2 minutes.
- For meal prep, store cheese separately and add before serving.
- Substitute sweet potatoes for russet potatoes or make vegetarian using extra beans instead of meat.
