Potaco Recipes

POTACO

Steps:

• Spray the bottom of a frying pan with cooking spay so that the meat won't stick.
• Cook the ground meat until no pink color is left. (Time to cook ground meat may vary, depending on meat used.).
• Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the meat then roughly half of the taco seasoning. Stir it all until it's combined, then turn off the heat.
• Poke shallow holes in your potatoes, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. (Note: Do not poke holes in the wrap or the potato will not cook properly.).
• Set the power on HIGH and cook for 5-7 minutes each. (Depending on your microwave) You may want to cook them one at a time. (We haven't tried cooking both at a time -- ).
• Carefully remove the potatoes from the microwave and cut them open with a butter knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. Add 1 Teaspoon of butter to each potato.
• Plate each potato, and pile on the meat.
• Top with the cheese, and add sour cream. Enjoy! (You could adjust the cheese and sour cream amounts to your liking, too).

POTACO SALAD (POTATO TACO SALAD)

Steps:

• Combine salad ingredients in a 6-quart container or bowl; chill.
• Brown lean ground beef with onion, garlic, and chipotle peppers until no longer pink; drain. Add Taco Seasoning Mix and water to ground beef mixture; stir well; cool.
• Make dressing while ground beef mixture cools. Whisk together dressing ingredients in small bowl until well combined.
• At serving time, combine salad and ground beef mixture. Toss with dressing until evenly coated.
• Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips, green onions, cheddar cheese and black olives over the top of the salad (or any other topping ingredients you think sound tasty) and serve.
