Taco Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes Recipes

TACO TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wrap the potatoes in foil and bake until cooked through, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the meat, about 5 minutes. Drain the liquid from the skillet. Add the black beans, taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water, bring to a simmer and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and unwrap carefully. Cut a slit lengthwise down the center and spoon out a bit of the potato from the interior of each. Divide the beef and bean mixture among the potatoes, then top each with 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, another 15 minutes.
• Put the potatoes on a platter and top each with some sour cream, salsa, red onions and jalapenos, and garnish with chopped cilantro.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pierce the skin of the potatoes with a fork. Place potatoes on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Mix ground beef with onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Cook in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbled, about 10 minutes. Add water as needed to prevent beef from sticking to skillet. Drain and discard grease.
• Cut baked potatoes open. Spread butter inside and top each with the taco meat mixture, 1/4 cup cheese, 2 tablespoons sour cream, and 2 tablespoons salsa.

• While potatoes are cooling (about 15 minutes), cook ground beef until lightly browned.
• Drain beef and return to pan; add taco seasoning and water.
• Simmer for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Remove a small slice from top of potatoes, removing potato pulp and making sure to leave at least a 1/4-inch shell all the way around.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the following ingredients: 3/4 cup of cheese, sour cream, margarine, salt and pepper; mix well.
• Divide pulp evenly between potato shells.
• After putting pulp mixture back into shell, make a "nest" to add ground beef mixture evenly between the two.
• Return to oven to bake for another 25 minutes and then divide remaining cheese (at this point, add more cheese if desired) over each potato.
• Bake for another 10 minutes.
