Create a satisfying, flavor-packed loaded potato taco bowl using crispy roasted potatoes as the base instead of rice or tortillas. This easy weeknight taco bowl recipe combines comfort food with taco night excitement.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey/plant-based crumbles)
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • Optional: 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the potatoes roast, cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.
  5. Stir the taco seasoning mix and water into the cooked meat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  6. To assemble the loaded potato taco bowls, divide the crispy roasted potatoes among four bowls.
  7. Spoon the seasoned taco meat over the potatoes in each bowl.
  8. Top each bowl generously with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped chives.
  9. If using, sprinkle crumbled bacon over the top for extra flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian loaded taco bowl, substitute the ground beef with black beans or seasoned lentils.
  • If you want extra crispy potatoes, toss them with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch before adding the oil and seasoning.
  • You can prepare the taco meat ahead of time and reheat it when the potatoes are done.
