Description

A deliciously satisfying taco bowl packed with seasoned ground beef, crispy potatoes, fresh pico de gallo, and creamy avocado.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey/plant-based substitute)
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (or sweet potatoes)
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 avocado, sliced

  2. Cook the potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add diced potatoes, cooking until golden brown and crispy (15–20 minutes).
  3. Sauté the ground beef: Push the potatoes to one side, add more oil if needed, and cook ground beef for about 5–7 minutes until browned.
  4. Add flavor: Stir in taco sauce and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Build your bowl: Layer crispy potatoes at the bottom, followed by seasoned ground beef.
  6. Top it off: Add pico de gallo and sliced avocado, then drizzle with extra taco sauce.
  7. Personalize: Add your favorite toppings like cheese or sour cream.
