Taco Stuffed Baked Potatoes

INGREDIENTS:

4 baked potatoes

1 pound ground beef

1/2 of a medium onion diced

2 cloves garlic minced

2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning or 1 packet

1/2 cup water

1 cup salsa

Salt and pepper

Your favorite taco toppings: shredded cheese green onions, sour cream, tomatoes, etc.

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare the baked potatoes and set them aside to cool for at least 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef, diced onion and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Drain.

To the ground beef, add the taco seasoning, water and salsa. Stir to combine then bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes. If there is too much
liquid, simmer with the lid off for a bit.

Gently slice open potatoes lengthwise and squeeze the sides to open, careful not to let them break in half completely.

Season the potato with salt and pepper, and mash with a little sour cream. Divide the taco meat among the potatoes and top with freshly shredded cheddar, green onions or any of your favorite taco toppings.

Serve immediately.
