Loaded Potato Taco Bowl – High Protein Healthy Dinner for Family Meal Prep
- Preheat: your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and dice: the potatoes into even cubes, about 1 inch in size.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss: the potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
- Line a baking sheet: with parchment paper and spread the potatoes in a single layer, making sure they aren't crowded.
- Roast the potatoes: for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Set aside.
- Cook the beef: while the potatoes roast, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the beef: stir the taco seasoning and water into the beef. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
- Prepare your toppings: dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, slice the jalapeños, dice the avocados, slice the green onions, and chop the cilantro. Drain and rinse the black beans.
- Assemble the bowls: divide the roasted potatoes among bowls. Layer with taco meat, black beans, shredded cheese, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, jalapeños, green onions, and cilantro.
- Finish and serve: top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice. Enjoy!
