Follow these simple steps to create your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and pierce the potatoes with a fork several times. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
3. Bake Potatoes: Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes or until tender.
4. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
5. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until well combined.
6. Prepare Toppings: While the potatoes and meat are cooking, chop the tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado. Set aside.
7. Assemble Bowls: Once the potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Cut them open and fluff with a fork.
8. Add Toppings: Layer the taco meat over the potatoes, then add cheese, sour cream, salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado.
9. Garnish: Finish with any additional toppings like jalapeños, cilantro, or green onions to enhance the flavor.
