Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 medium potatoes, diced
• 1 can black beans, rinsed
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 1 tbsp taco seasoning
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

Step 2

While potatoes roast, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 3

Assemble bowls: layer roasted potatoes, seasoned beef, black beans, salsa, and shredded cheese. Serve warm. Optionally, garnish with cilantro or avocado.

For best results

• For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting.

• Add a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.

Variations

• Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes for more fiber.
• Make it vegetarian by substituting beef with extra black beans or plant-based crumbles.
