Instructions
-
Roast the potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread diced potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and toss with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Bake until crispy: Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
-
Cook the meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain excess fat.
-
Add flavor: Stir in chili powder, cumin, and red onion. Cook 5 minutes until onion softens.
-
Add beans and corn: Mix in black beans and corn. Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring until heated through.
-
Assemble bowls: Divide roasted potatoes among bowls. Top with the meat mixture.
-
Add toppings: Sprinkle cheddar cheese, add cherry tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.
-
Finish: Serve with a dollop of sour cream and lime wedges. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
-
Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
To make vegetarian: skip the meat and double the beans.
For extra spice, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the topping mix.
Store leftovers separately for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
