A perfect baked potato stuffed with spicy taco meat and topped with cheese, sour cream and onions – my Taco Stuffed Baked Potatoes are a delicious way to change up your Taco Tuesday.

Sometimes the recipes I share here are well thought out, planned and executed. And sometimes they are a complete spur of the moment, it’s past lunchtime and I need to eat something, anything, kind of thing. Today’s recipe falls into the latter category.

I had just made a bunch of baked potatoes and had a few leftover. I was foraging through the fridge for lunch, and came across the taco meat we’d had for dinner the night before. I had a lightbulb moment, and decided to marry the two and create these Taco Stuffed Baked Potatoes!

Let’s just say it was pretty much the best idea I’d had in a very long time. A complete meal that I can serve to my entire family that they absolutely are going to love? I can that #winning. It’s a great way to use up leftover taco meat or leftover baked potatoes, too!

Instructions

- 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.
