  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked ground beef or turkey (optional for added protein)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Fresh lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  2. If using meat, cook the ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Season with taco spices or salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Once the potatoes are roasted and slightly cooled, divide them evenly into bowls. Top each with cooked meat (if using), shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  4. Garnish with fresh cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the bowls for extra flavor.
  5. Serve immediately or store in meal prep containers for later, reheating as needed to maintain crispiness.

Notes

  • Use sweet potatoes instead of russet for a sweeter flavor variation.
  • Vegetarian option: skip meat or substitute with beans or plant-based proteins.
  • To keep the potatoes crispy for meal prep, store components separately and reheat in an oven or air fryer.
  • Adjust toppings according to your taste for a personalized twist.
