Description

A cozy comfort food dish featuring creamy potatoes topped with seasoned meat, beans, and vibrant toppings.


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

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the diced potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Bake the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, flipping at the 15-minute mark until golden brown and crispy.
  3. While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook for 7-8 minutes until completely browned.
  4. Add the chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion to the cooked meat. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes until the onion softens.
  5. Stir in the black beans and corn. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  6. Divide the crispy potatoes among serving bowls. Top with the meat mixture and sprinkle shredded cheddar on top, allowing it to melt.
  7. Add the cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream.
