For the Roasted Potatoes:

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, diced into bite-sized cubes (900 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (2 g)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (2 g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (3 g)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (3 g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (5 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (2 g)

For the Taco Meat:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (450 g)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (28 g)
  • 1/2 cup water (120 ml)

For the Taco Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120 g)
  • 2 tablespoons taco sauce (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (5 ml)

For the Toppings:

 

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (110 g)
  • 1 cup guacamole (240 g)
  • 1 cup pico de gallo (180 g)
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels (75 g)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Season the potatoes: Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast: Spread potatoes in a single layer and roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  • Cook the taco meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease if needed. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  • Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, taco sauce, and lime juice.
  • Assemble the bowls: Divide the roasted potatoes among four serving bowls. Top with seasoned taco meat.
  • Add toppings: Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, corn, pico de gallo, and a generous scoop of guacamole.
  • Drizzle: Finish with the taco sauce drizzle over the top.
  • Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while the potatoes are hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Roast potatoes until deeply golden for the best texture.
  • Ground turkey or chicken can replace the beef.
  • Add jalapeños for extra heat.
  • Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
  • Great for meal prep; store toppings separately.
