INGREDIENTS:

4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup sliced black olives
Sour cream, for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pierce the potatoes with a fork several times and rub each with olive oil. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

While the potatoes bake, cook the ground meat in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly, then cut each in half lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.

Spoon the taco meat evenly into each potato half. Top with shredded cheddar, diced tomatoes, red onion, and black olives.

Bake again for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve hot, topped with sour cream and chopped cilantro if desired.
