  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb ground beef or plant-based alternative
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced jalapenos (optional)
  • Fresh lettuce, shredded (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy, flipping halfway.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and add taco seasoning with a splash of water. Simmer until thickened.
  3. Transfer roasted potatoes to bowls. Top with seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, jalapenos, and cilantro. Add dollops of sour cream and garnish with shredded lettuce. Optional: sprinkle extra cheese or hot sauce.

Notes

  • For vegetarian or vegan versions, substitute ground beef with beans or plant-based alternatives and use vegan cheese and sour cream.
  • Adjust spice levels with more or less jalapenos or hot sauce.
  • Chop extra toppings like avocado or bell peppers for added flavor and nutrition.
