Description
A hearty and customizable meal perfect for busy weeknights featuring crispy potatoes and seasoned ground beef.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large potatoes, diced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup fresh tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by heating oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and fry them for about 10-15 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally. Drain excess oil using paper towels.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In another skillet, cook one pound of ground beef over medium heat. Break it into smaller pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain extra fat, then season with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Layering the Taco Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the crispy potatoes at the bottom, followed by the seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice.
- Serve: Enjoy the taco bowl while hot with your preferred toppings like sour cream, avocado, or jalapeños.
- Store Leftovers: Place leftovers in airtight containers and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat as needed.
Notes
For extra crispy potatoes, avoid overcrowding the skillet. Experiment with spices and cheeses to suit your taste.
