Ingredients to Gather
4-5 Potatoes (Russets or Yukon Golds)
1 lb ground beef
Taco Seasoning Packet, or Homemade Taco Seasoning
Shredded Cheese or Queso
Lettuce - 1/2 head
Tomato - 1-2, diced
Sour Cream - 1/2 cup
Salsa - 1/2 cup
Taco Sauce - as desired
Optional meat add-ins include kidney beans (dark or light), black beans, or corn
Optional toppings include black olives, onions, jalapenos, guacamole, cilantro
Let’s Make It!
Prepare the Taters
Prepare the taters by washing and poking holes (carefully with a fork or knife) in each side of each potato.
Wrap in foil if desired to bake in 350 degree F oven for 60-90 minutes until squeezes tender. If microwave is preferred, you may microwave unwrapped potatoes in high for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through (adding or subtracting time as necessary)
Cut open your baked potato and give it a small squeeze. Fluff the inside of the potato.
Assemble the Potatoes
Add 2oz of meat mixture to each potato (or have the family make their own, so each person can follow these steps!)
Add Cheese of choice to each potato
Add preferred toppings
Enjoy!
