How to Make Twice Baked Mexican Stuffed Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and pierce 4 large russet potatoes several times with a fork. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until tender.
  3. While potatoes bake, prepare the filling. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 pound ground beef (or turkey) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (15-ounce) can of corn (drained), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch border. Mash the potato flesh with a fork.
  7. Mix the mashed potatoes with the beef mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup sour cream.
  8. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins.
  9. Top with remaining cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream (optional).
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
