Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 small Red onion (diced)
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 cup Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and cube the russet potatoes into approximately 1-inch pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and season with smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 5

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the potatoes are roasting, heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the diced red onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 8

Stir in the black beans and canned diced tomatoes with green chilies. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the flavors meld.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Once the roasted potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 11

Serve by layering the roasted potatoes on a platter, topping them with the warm bean mixture, and sprinkling with the remaining chopped cilantro.

Step 12

Optionally, garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Step 13

Enjoy your delicious Mexican Taters and Beans!
