  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 24 minute

Ingredients

– 4 large russet potatoes
– 1 pound ground beef or turkey
– 1 packet taco seasoning mix
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 cup chopped lettuce
– ½ cup sliced black olives (optional)
– ¼ cup green onions, sliced
– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

To make the Taco Potatoes, follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and poke a few holes in each. Rub with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
3. Bake Potatoes: Place potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-55 minutes until tender.
4. Cook Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Drain excess fat and add the taco seasoning mix according to package instructions.
5. Prep Toppings: While the meat cooks, chop your toppings—lettuce, tomatoes, and green onions. Set aside.
6. Cool Potatoes: Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
7. Assemble Potatoes: Cut the baked potatoes in half lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
8. Load Ingredients: Add the taco meat evenly across each potato half. Top with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, lettuce, and any other toppings you prefer.
9. Melt Cheese: Return the potatoes to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt.
10. Final Touches: Remove from the oven and drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with green onions or olives if desired.
