Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and diced into bite-sized 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
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Sour cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Spread the diced potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Drizzle potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Toss the potatoes on the sheet to coat them evenly.
  5. Bake the potatoes for about 25 minutes until they start to brown.
  6. Flip the potatoes and continue baking another 5 minutes until crispy and golden.
  7. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef or turkey.
  8. Cook the meat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  9. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  10. Add chili powder, cumin, and the chopped red onion to the skillet.
  11. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  12. Mix in the black beans and corn and cook 3 to 4 minutes until warmed through.
  13. Taste the meat mixture and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  14. Divide the roasted potatoes among serving bowls.
  15. Top each bowl with a generous scoop of the meat and bean mixture.
  16. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each bowl so it melts slightly.
  17. Add cherry tomato halves, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro on top.
  18. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

For extra crisp potatoes, use a roomy baking sheet so pieces are not crowded. Store components separately for best texture, and add avocado and tomatoes just before serving.
