Ingredients

Potatoes:
• 2½ lbs baby yellow potatoes, quartered
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1½ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp black pepper

Taco Meat:
• 1½ lbs lean ground beef
• ½ medium onion, diced
• 1 tbsp oil
• ½ tbsp tomato paste
• 1 taco seasoning packet
• ½ cup water
• Salt to taste

Nacho Cheese Sauce:
• 12 oz evaporated milk
• 3 cups freshly shredded cheese
• 3 tsp cornstarch
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp jalapeño juice

Toppings:
Guacamole, pico de gallo, cilantro, sour cream, jalapeños, etc.

Directions

Toss the potatoes with the oil and seasonings. Bake at 425°F for 35–40 minutes, then broil for a few minutes until crispy.

For the taco meat, sauté the onion in oil, then add the ground beef and break it into smaller pieces. Stir in the tomato paste, taco seasoning, water, and salt to taste. Simmer until thickened.

For the cheese sauce, toss the freshly shredded cheese with the cornstarch. Warm the evaporated milk over medium-low heat, then slowly whisk in the cheese a little at a time until smooth. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and jalapeño juice. You can also add chopped pickled jalapeños. If the sauce gets too thick when reheating, add a splash of milk to thin it out.

Assemble the bowls with the crispy potatoes, taco meat, cheese sauce, and your favorite toppings.
