Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 large potatoes, diced and crispy fried
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar or Mexican cheese

Instructions
- Prepare the Crispy Potatoes: Dice the potatoes into small cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy, or use an air fryer for quicker crisping.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Add diced onions and cook until translucent. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning with a splash of water. Simmer for 5 minutes until fragrant.
- Assemble the Taco Bowl: Layer crispy potatoes at the base of each bowl. Top with seasoned ground beef, then add fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and your preferred toppings like sour cream, salsa, and cilantro. Add optional ingredients like black beans or jalapeños for extra flavor.
Notes
