Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow potato 5.3 oz, cut into 1/2-inch dice, OR 3/4 C petite potatoes, quartered
  • 1 tsp 6 g chili lime spice
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/4 C canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 C ground beef
  • Half of a taco seasoning packet 0.5 oz (about 1/2 tbsp)
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp shredded cheese
  • 1 C shredded lettuce
  • Pico de Gallo or salsa optional
  • Lime wedge optional

Instructions

  • 1.) Wash and scrub the potato thoroughly. Peel and cut the potato into ½-inch pieces. Toss the potato pieces in the neutral oil and season with the Chili Lime salt. Bake them in a 400 F preheated oven or air fryer for 10-12 minutes, until they are golden and crispy.
  • 2.) While the potatoes bake, brown the ground beef in a non-stick sauté pan. Heat the pan on medium-high heat. A little bit of oil can be used to encourage better browning. Add the ground beef to the pan and break it into large pieces. Let the meat cook for 6-7 minutes. Break the meat into smaller pieces and drain excess oil as the meat cooks. At this stage, add the taco seasoning and the water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often until thickening.
  • 3.) To plate, add the lettuce, potatoes, ground beef, and black beans to a large bowl. Top with shredded cheese, yogurt, and optional toppings. Enjoy!
