Ingredients
- 4 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet)
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey/plant-based option)
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- Fresh toppings: shredded lettuce, grated cheese, chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart. Drain excess fat, stir in taco seasoning, and simmer until thickened.

- Serve each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and enjoy your meal warm.
Notes
For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in water for 30 minutes before roasting and ensure they’re dried well. Mix up protein options for variety.
