Ingredients:

For the Potatoes:

4 large baking potatoes, washed and pricked with a fork

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Taco Filling:

1 pound ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning mix

1/2 cup water

For the Toppings:

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup sliced black olives

1 diced tomato

Jalapeños, to taste

Directions:

Preheat & Bake Potatoes:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender.

Cook the Taco Filling:

While the potatoes are baking, brown 1 pound of ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat. Stir in 1 packet of taco seasoning mix and 1/2 cup of water. Simmer until the mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.

Assemble the Potatoes:

Once the potatoes are cooked, make a slit in each one and fluff the insides with a fork. Spoon the taco meat evenly among the potatoes.

Add Toppings:

Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese, allowing the heat from the potato to melt the cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions, sliced black olives, diced tomatoes, and jalapeños to each.

Serve & Enjoy:

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this delightful dish!
