Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Russet Potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning, divided
- 1 (15-ounce) can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar or Colby Jack Cheese
- 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
- 1/4 cup chopped Green Onions
- Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Toss the cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Step 2: While the potatoes roast, gently warm the rinsed black beans in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning and cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through. Set the bean mixture aside.
- Step 3: Once potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a large bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning and toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly with the spice mixture.
- Step 4: Divide the seasoned potatoes among four serving bowls. Spoon the warm, seasoned black beans over the potatoes, then sprinkle generously with the shredded cheese.
- Step 5: For an optional melted finish, place the bowls under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. Top each bowl with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover roasted potatoes and seasoned black beans in an airtight container for up to 3 days, keeping the yogurt, cheese, and green onions separate to maintain texture and freshness.
- To reheat the potato and bean base without drying it out, warm the mixture gently in a skillet over low heat or microwave briefly, adding fresh cheese and toppings only after it is hot.
- For the crispiest potato exterior, ensure your potato cubes are completely dry before tossing with oil and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet so the pieces roast instead of steam.
- Elevate the taco flavor profile by adding a splash of lime juice, a generous scoop of chunky salsa, or diced avocado right before serving.
