Enjoy a hearty and flavorful twist on classic baked potatoes with this Taco Stuffed version! These potatoes are loaded with seasoned ground beef, cheese, and your favorite taco toppings for a satisfying and easy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • Optional toppings: avocado, black olives, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork.
  2. Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until they are soft when pierced with a fork.
  3. While the potatoes are baking, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise.
  6. Fluff the insides of the potatoes with a fork, being careful not to break the skins.
  7. Top each potato half with the seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, and salsa. Add any additional toppings as desired.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with seasoned black beans or lentils. You can also add a dollop of guacamole for extra flavor and creaminess.
