  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup water or beef broth

  • fresh cilantro
  • green onions (scallions)
  • pickled or fresh jalapeños (optional)
  • corn (optional)
  • black beans (optional)
  • fresh lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes, then dice them into uniform 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast for 25-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  7. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
  8. Stir in the taco seasoning and water or beef broth, and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the liquid has mostly absorbed.
  9. Once the potatoes are crispy and the beef is seasoned, start assembling your bowls.
  10. Begin with a base of the hot, crispy roasted potatoes.
  11. Spoon a hearty portion of the seasoned ground beef over the potatoes.
  12. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot beef and potatoes to melt.
  13. Top with sour cream or Greek yogurt, salsa, avocado, cilantro, and green onions.
  14. Add jalapeños if desired, and serve immediately.
