Ingredients

4 Large russet potatoes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion finely chopped
1 packet taco seasoning 3 Tablespoons
¼ cup water
1 10 ounce can Rotel Diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 cups fiesta blend cheese shredded
Chopped green onion for garnish
Sour cream for dipping

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and poke holes in each potato with a fork. Brush each potato all over with the vegetable oil. Place the potatoes in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour until tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, brown the ground beef in a large skillet with the onion.
When the meat is cooked completely, stir in the taco seasoning, water and diced tomatoes. Simmer for 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened, then remove skillet from heat.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and carefully slice each one in half.
Scoop out the center of each potato, leaving a thin layer of potato above the skin
Now cut each potato skin half into half again and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
Top each potato skin half with the taco meat mixture and shredded cheese.
Return the pan to the oven to bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the taco topped potato skins are crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top the potato skins with sliced green onions.
Serve the taco topped potato skins with sour cream on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
