Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup seasoned ground beef or chicken
  • 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Let the potatoes cool slightly until they are easy to handle.
  6. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch shell.
  7. Place the potato shells cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  8. Fill each shell with shredded cheddar cheese, seasoned ground meat, and black beans.
  9. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Top with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeños if desired.
  11. Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa.
