Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dice your russet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Spread the diced potatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown and fork-tender.
  4. While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  5. Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, and red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
  6. Stir in black beans and corn and warm for 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasonings as needed.
  7. Assemble the bowls with a scoop of roasted potatoes, topped with the meat and bean mixture.
  8. Add cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro on top.
  9. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
