Loaded Fiesta Potato Bowls are an easy way to turn simple ingredients into a filling, flavorful dinner. Crispy roasted potatoes are piled with seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn, fresh tomato, avocado and plenty of shredded cheese, then finished with salsa and sour cream.
I love meals like this because everyone can build their bowl exactly how they like it. It’s colorful, hearty and easy enough for a busy weeknight, plus you can prep most of the toppings ahead of time to make dinner even quicker.
Servings: 4–6
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet baking potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes (sweet potatoes may be substituted)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- Water as directed on seasoning packet
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
- Salsa, for serving
- Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with seasoned salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- While the potatoes are roasting, cook the ground beef or turkey in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Add the taco seasoning and water according to package directions. Simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
- Divide the roasted potatoes among serving bowls. Top with seasoned taco meat, black beans, corn, diced tomato, avocado, and shredded cheese.
- Finish with salsa and sour cream. Serve immediately.
Texas Girl Cooks Tip: For extra flavor, drizzle with cilantro-lime crema or add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro before serving.
