Ingredients (Serves 4):
For the Potatoes:
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
For the Taco Filling:
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade)
1/4 cup water
Toppings:
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
1 avocado or guacamole (optional)
Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
1. Bake the Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Poke holes in each potato using a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Place directly on the oven rack or on a baking tray and bake for 50–60 minutes until soft inside and crisp outside.
Alternatively, microwave each potato for 6–8 minutes, turning halfway, then finish in oven for 10 minutes to crisp skin (optional).
2. Make the Taco Filling:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned (6–8 mins).
Add onion and garlic; sauté until translucent (2–3 mins).
Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
3. Assemble the Stuffed Potatoes:
Slice baked potatoes open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
Fill each potato with taco meat, cheese, and desired toppings.
