Description

A comforting bowl filled with crispy potatoes, savory seasoned meat, and colorful toppings, perfect for weeknight dinners.


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
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Sour cream, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your 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 to coat evenly.
  2. Bake the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, flipping them at the 15-minute mark for even browning.
  3. While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook for 7-8 minutes until completely browned.
  4. Add the chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion. Cook for 5 minutes until the onion softens.
  5. Stir in the black beans and corn. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  6. Divide the crispy potatoes among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the meat mixture and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Let sit for 30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt.
  7. Add cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and cilantro on top. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream.
