How to Make Taco Baked Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- While oven preheats, prepare the taco meat: In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
- Wash and pierce 4 large russet potatoes several times with a fork.
- Bake potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- While potatoes bake, prepare your toppings: Shred 1 cup cheddar cheese and finely chop 1/2 cup red onion.
- Once potatoes are cooked, carefully cut an 'X' in the top of each potato.
- Gently fluff the potato pulp with a fork.
- Top each potato generously with the taco meat, cheese, and red onion.
- Serve immediately with your favorite salsa and/or sour cream.
