Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Potatoes
  • 2 large potatoes, cubed (Yukon Gold or russet) Yukon Gold roast slightly faster, while russets crisp up wonderfully.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
For the Taco Filling
  • 1 cup ground beef or turkey Ground turkey keeps it lean, while beef adds richer flavor.
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed Canned are convenient.
  • 1 cup corn, canned or frozen Frozen corn (thawed) tastes fresh and sweet.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) A Mexican blend gives more depth.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet and roast for about 25–30 minutes or until crispy, stirring once halfway through.
  3. While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it into pieces. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  4. Stir in the black beans and corn to the cooked meat, then season with extra salt, pepper, and chili powder or cumin if desired. Cook until heated through, about 3–5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Once the potatoes are done, assemble the taco bowls by placing the roasted potatoes at the bottom, followed by the beef and bean mixture, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and shredded cheese.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately while everything is hot.

Notes

Roast the potatoes for the best crispness and concentrated flavor. You can make this dish vegetarian by skipping the meat and adding extra beans or sautéed vegetables.
