Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 15 ounces (1 can, drained and rinsed) canned black beans
• 10 ounces (1 can) canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 2 sliced green onions
• 1 cut into wedges lime

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and cut each into 8 wedges.

Step 3

Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground cumin. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the potatoes bake, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 8

Stir in the chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon of ground cumin, black beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Once the potato wedges are done, remove them from the oven. Arrange them on a large serving platter or individual plates.

Step 10

Spoon the beef and bean mixture over the potato wedges, ensuring even distribution.

Step 11

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. The heat from the beef mixture will melt the cheese.

Step 12

Dollop sour cream over the dish, then garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.

Step 13

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a tart, zesty finish.
