Ground Beef & Potato Taco Bowls are a flavorful and filling twist on taco night, featuring seasoned beef, crispy potatoes, rice, and fresh toppings—all layered in a satisfying, customizable bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 medium russet or gold potatoes, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • Toppings: chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, lime wedges, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess grease if needed.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to blend flavors.
  5. To assemble the bowls, start with a scoop of rice, followed by seasoned beef and crispy potatoes.
  6. Top with your choice of toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, sour cream, salsa, lime juice, and cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Swap potatoes with roasted sweet potatoes for a different flavor.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
  • Add black beans, pinto beans, or corn for extra protein and fiber.
  • Store beef, potatoes, and rice separately for easy meal prep and reheating.
