Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 3/4-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey (93/7 lean recommended)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 15 ounces black beans (1 can, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed and chopped
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Sour cream, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Spread the diced potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are in the oven, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey, breaking it up as it cooks for 7-8 minutes until browned.
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion; cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onion softens.
- Add the black beans and corn to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until warmed through. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Divide the crispy potatoes among four bowls and top each with the meat mixture and cheese. Allow the cheese to melt for about 30 seconds.
- Layer on cherry tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
These bowls are best enjoyed immediately while the potatoes are hot and crispy. Consider pairing with a salad or homemade guacamole.
