Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve crispy, golden potatoes.
  • In a large bowl, toss the diced russet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add your ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, and drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion into the skillet with the meat and cook for another 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Next, add in the black beans and corn kernels. Cook for 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Divide the roasted potatoes among your bowls, and top each one generously with the meat mixture.
  • Finish off each bowl with shredded cheese, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
  • Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream.
