Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large baking potatoes (Russet)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 0.5 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning packet
  • 0.75 cup water
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 each diced Roma tomato seeds removed
  • 0.25 cup prepared guacamole or diced avocado
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 slices green onion thinly sliced

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Place potatoes on the baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt. Roast for 60-75 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. While the potatoes are baking, cook the ground beef with diced onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir well, bring to a low boil, then simmer for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Remove baked potatoes from oven, let cool for 5 minutes. Cut a slit down the center of each and gently push ends to open them.
  6. Fluff inside of each potato with a fork and scoop out 1-2 tablespoons to make space for filling.
  7. Fill each potato with seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded cheddar, diced tomato, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, and green onion slices as desired.
