Ingredients
Scale
Taco Meat
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 tsp Creole Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1/4 tsp Ground Coriander
- 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
- 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning, or to taste
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Potatoes
- 5–6 Medium-Large Potatoes (Yukon Gold recommended)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1.5 tsp Paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes or chunks for even roasting.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Taco Meat: While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Season the Meat: Drain any excess fat, then add creole seasoning, cumin, ground coriander, onion powder, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Assemble the Taco Bowls: Once the potatoes are roasted and the meat is seasoned, serve the crispy potatoes in bowls and top generously with the taco meat mixture. Add any desired toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, avocado, or fresh cilantro to complete your loaded potato taco bowls.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for beef for a leaner option.
- Adjust the level of crushed red pepper to control the spiciness.
- Yukon Gold potatoes work best for roasting because of their creamy texture but Russets or red potatoes are great alternatives.
- For a vegetarian variation, use seasoned cooked lentils or plant-based meat substitutes instead of ground beef.
- Leftover taco meat and roasted potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 3 days.
