Stuffed Taco Potatoes



I heard of people using potatoes and then topping them with a bunch of taco type stuff. I actually have that planned for this week. I'll let you know how it goes.

Rub whole potatoes with sea salt, pierce with a fork and bake at 400 until done.

Split them open and top with:
black beans or ground beef
red and green bell pepper
purple onion
cheese

Broil them until the cheese melts and the beans are warm.

Then finish with:

tomatoes
cilantro
salsa
sour cream

You could also put in chicken, broccoli and top with some cheese. Isn't there a place in Atlanta that is famous for their topped baked potatoes? Seems like Williamson Brothers does a version of it too.

You can also make mashed potatoes, adding a sweet potato into the mix. It makes them beautifully orange and yummy delicious!

  2. So this was really good. I made little sails out of tortillas for the boys so they looked like boats. They loved it. Easter was great. I love your profile picture Brie! I hope you are well!

  3. We make "Chicken Fajita Spuds" like McAllisters. We just bake the potatoes, then prepare the onions, green peppers, and chicken in the skillet. Top the potatoes with the chicken fajita mix, then top with regular toppings (sour cream, salsa, cilantro, cheese, etc etc). YUMMO! A favorite meal of mine.
