Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 4 baked potatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 of a medium onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning (or 1 packet)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup salsa
- Salt and pepper
- Your favorite taco toppings: shredded cheese (green onions, sour cream, tomatoes, etc.)
Instruction
- Prepare the baked potatoes and set them aside to cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef, diced onion and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Drain.
- To the ground beef, add the taco seasoning, water and salsa. Stir to combine then bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes. If there is too much liquid, simmer with the lid off for a bit.
- Gently slice open potatoes lengthwise and squeeze the sides to open, careful not to let them break in half completely.
- Season the potato with salt and pepper, and mash with a little sour cream. Divide the taco meat among the potatoes and top with freshly shredded cheddar, green onions or any of your favorite taco toppings.
- Serve immediately.
