# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
02 -
1/4 cup chopped green onions
03 -
1/2 cup sour cream
04 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 -
1/2 cup water
06 -
1 ounce taco seasoning mix
07 -
4 to 6 medium Russet potatoes
08 -
1 pound lean ground beef
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pile the hot taco beef on the potato halves. Top with cheddar, add chopped tomatoes, toss on green onions, and put on a spoonful of sour cream. Eat right away.
02 -
Slice open each potato down the length. Fluff up the insides with a fork so there’s lots of room for loading up toppings.
03 -
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned beef. Pour in half a cup of water. Give it a good stir and let it gently bubble for about five minutes. Stir every now and then till you see the sauce thickening.
04 -
Stick a big skillet on medium heat. Throw in the ground beef, breaking it into bits with your spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes until it’s brown all the way. If there’s too much fat, pour it off.
05 -
Give the potatoes a solid scrub. Poke each one a few times with a fork and lay them on a baking tray. In an oven already set to 200°C (400°F), bake them for 45–50 minutes till you can stick a fork in easily.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
If you want the skins crisp, rub the potatoes with some oil and sprinkle with a bit of salt first before they go in the oven.
