Taco Potatoes

 

Taco Potatoes 

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef 

4 to 6 medium Russet potatoes 

1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning 

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 

½ cup sour cream 

½ cup salsa 

¼ cup chopped green onions 

¼ cup sliced black olives (optional) 

Instructions:

Prepare the Potatoes:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them several times with a fork.

Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 45–60 minutes, or until tender.

Cook the Beef:

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned.

Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the taco seasoning and follow the packet instructions (usually adding some water and simmering).

Assemble the Taco Potatoes:

Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly, then slice them open lengthwise.

Fluff the insides with a fork and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Spoon the seasoned beef over each potato.

Add Toppings:

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef so it melts slightly.

Top with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, chopped green onions, and black olives if using.

Serve & Enjoy:

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious taco-style baked potatoes!
