  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey (93/7 lean recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 15 ounces black beans (1 can), drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed and chopped
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prep the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss your diced russet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Spread out the potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the seasoned potatoes to the sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Cook the meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef (or turkey) and break it up. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  5. Add the spices: Mix in chili powder and cumin, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Toss in the onions and black beans: Add chopped red onion, cooking until softened (about 3-4 minutes), then add rinsed black beans and heat through.
  7. Mix in the corn: Add corn kernels to the skillet and cook for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat.
  8. Check on the potatoes: Ensure they are golden and crispy; remove from the oven.
  9. Assemble the bowls: Layer crispy potatoes, meat mixture, cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, sour cream, and lime juice.
  10. Serve & enjoy!
