Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes (peeled and diced into 3/4-inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey (93/7 lean recommended)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 small red onion (chopped)
- 15 ounces black beans (1 can, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium avocado (diced)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (loosely packed and chopped)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
- Sour cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the diced potatoes on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Bake the potatoes for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey, and cook until browned (7-8 minutes).
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion softens.
- Add black beans and corn, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Divide crispy potatoes among 4 bowls, topping with meat mixture and shredded cheddar. Let sit for 30 seconds to melt cheese.
- Add cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream.
