Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
½ cup water
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
½ cup sour cream
½ cup salsa or pico de gallo
¼ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
Shredded lettuce (optional)
Jalapeño slices or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub potatoes and prick each with a fork.
Bake potatoes directly on the rack for 45–60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Meanwhile, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain fat.
Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
Once potatoes are baked, carefully slice each down the middle and fluff the inside with a fork.
Spoon taco beef into each potato. Top with cheese, sour cream, salsa, and your favorite toppings.
Serve warm with a side salad or tortilla chips.
Notes
Save time by microwaving the potatoes instead of baking.
For a vegetarian version, use seasoned black beans or plant-based crumbles.
Add guacamole, corn, or crushed tortilla chips for extra flavor and crunch.
