Taco Baked Potatoes….it’s a meal! A large baked potato filled with taco flavored meat, topped with cheese, sour cream, tomatoes and green onions. So go ahead and pick up some large baking potatoes and put your meal together in no time at all! Taco Baked Potatoes are easy to make, easy to clean up and delicious!!!
Ingredients – Also add 3/4 cup
water and diced tomatoes.
Wash and cook the potatoes
until cooked through.
In a large frying pan over medium heat,
cook ground beef until no pink remains.
Mix water and taco seasoning together
then pour over the meat. Cook 20 minutes
or until the liquid is absorbed.
Slice the baked potato on the top
horizontally then small slits vertically.
Using a fork, fluff the inside of the potato.
Spoon taco meat mixture over
the top of the cooked potato.
Sprinkle cheese over the top of the potato.
If you want to you can put it in the microwave
or under the broiler to melt the cheese but my
taco meat was so hot that it melted the cheese.
Place a large dollop of sour cream on top.
Garnish with diced tomatoes,
sliced green onions and serve.

Very tasty but of course I used way more than a dollop of sour cream on top! It was so filling I only ate half but my potatoes were huge!

Ofc… The combination is great and sometimes its hard to decide how much can you have at a time… when you have prepared finger licking stuffing…though your heart wanted more you can not have more…..

They make my “Meal in a Peal”, which are baked potatoes with butter, cheese, olives, and parsley and whatever nuts and seeds we have in the fridge look kind of lame. I’ve got your recipe written down and will see about getting the ingredients I don’t have on hand. I’ll post pictures when I get it made. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!
