Instructions
Season Potatoes:
Toss diced potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
Air Fry Potatoes:
Air fry at 400°F for 18–20 minutes, shaking the basket 2–3 times for even crisping.
Cook Ground Beef:
In a skillet, brown and crumble ground beef. Drain fat. Add taco seasoning and water per package directions. Simmer until thickened.
Assemble:
Arrange crispy potatoes on a plate. Top with taco-seasoned beef, sprinkle generously with shredded cheese, and add desired toppings like pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
Notes
Swap beef for ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for dietary preferences.
Use sweet potatoes for a twist.
Customize toppings for low-carb, dairy-free, or spicier options.
Great for leftovers—store components separately for best texture.
