Just writing out this recipe makes me hungry! My mom made this for us as kids – I guess she was 30 years ahead of the “stuffed potato” fad! This is another easy weeknight meal. I prep all of the ingredients and serve it taco-bar-style. My kids stuff their own potatoes, or sometimes choose to eat the ingredients all separately. Either way, it’s easy on me! This recipe is easily adaptable for Whole30 by omitting cheese and sour cream and using a compliant taco seasoning (or making your own). Oh, and the Doritos are definitely not compliant….
Taco Potatoes
Ingredients
4 russet potatoes
1 lb hamburger
1 packet taco seasoning
1/2 can black beans
Salsa
Shredded cheddar cheese
Avocado, diced
Tomatoes, chopped
Doritos, crushed
Sour Cream
Instructions
Clean the potatoes and poke holes with a fork. Microwave until the potatoes are soft through the middle.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the hamburger to the skillet. Once the hamburger is cooked about halfway through, drain a can of black beans. Add half the can of black beans (or more, to your liking) to the skillet. Once the meat has cooked through, add the taco seasoning, per the package instructions. Set the meat mixture aside.
When the potatoes are finished cooking, cut each potato down the middle and squeeze the outside to open. Stuff the potato with the meat mixture, then top with salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, chopped tomatoes, crushed up Doritos, and sour cream.
