Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 4 sweet or russet potatoes
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce shredded
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • Fresh salsa
  • TACO SEASONING INGREDIENTS
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. dried oregano
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Scrub and pat potatoes dry. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork and bake in the oven, directly on rack, until soft (about 40 to 45 min. depending on the size of your potatoes).
  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the taco seasoning.
  • Melt some cooking fat in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning onto the beef, and stir to combine. You may want to add 1 or 2 tbsp. of water if the meat is too dry or the seasoning is not mixing well.
  • Cook the ground beef another minute or two and set aside.
  • Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit in each potato and push ends of each potato toward each other to open.
  • Fill the potatoes with the ground beef and top with all the remaining vegetables.
  • Serve with fresh homemade salsa.
