  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked ground beef or turkey (optional for extra protein)
  • Fresh toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for creaminess)
  • Sliced avocado or guacamole
  • Fresh lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  2. If desired, cook ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Season with taco seasoning if preferred.
  3. Divide the roasted potatoes into bowls. Top with cooked ground meat, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.
  4. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, sliced avocado, and a squeeze of fresh lime to each bowl.
  5. Serve immediately or store in airtight containers for meal prep, reheating as needed.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, roast the potatoes in an air fryer if available.
  • Use vegetarian options like black beans or sautéed vegetables instead of meat for a plant-based version.
  • You can prepare the toppings ahead and store separately to maintain freshness.
