Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes. You can peel them if you prefer, but I like to leave the skin on for added nutrients and texture.
  3. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  7. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  8. Add the taco seasoning and water. Stir well to combine.
  9. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated and the beef is cooked through.
  10. Divide the roasted potatoes among bowls.
  11. Top with the seasoned ground beef.
  12. Add your favorite toppings! Get creative and pile them high.
  13. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top for a final burst of flavor.
  14. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting. Adjust seasonings to your liking. The potatoes and ground beef can be cooked ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat separately. Get creative with toppings and spice levels!
