Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 russet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
½ lb ground beef
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
½ cup black beans, drained, rinsed
½ cup tomato, diced
1 cup cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
guacamole, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Carefully pierce potatoes with a fork. On a baking sheet, oil the potatoes well and sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake for about one hour. If making more potatoes, an additional 15 minutes per potato is needed.
  • In a skillet over high heat, add the ground beef with a bit of oil.
  • Add the taco seasoning, black beans, and tomatoes. You may want to drain the ground beef mixture once cooked if there's too much liquid.
  • Once the potatoes are cooled, cut them vertically, scoop out the inside, and transfer to a bowl.
  • In the bowl with the scooped out potatoes, add the ground beef mixture and cheddar cheese. Mix well.
  • Scoop the potato mixture back into the potatoes and top with cheddar cheese.
  • Bake an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve warm with guacamole.
  • Enjoy!
