- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 500g ground beef (or chicken)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook ground beef with diced onion until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and water to the beef and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
- To assemble: divide crispy potatoes into bowls and top with taco-seasoned beef.
- Drizzle with nacho cheese sauce or sprinkle shredded cheddar on top (let it melt slightly).
- Add sour cream, diced tomatoes, green onions, jalapeños, and cilantro as desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy your loaded fiesta potato bowl!
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, replace beef with black beans or sautéed mushrooms.
- Use an air fryer to make the potatoes extra crispy in less time.
- Top with guacamole or pico de gallo for a fresher twist.
