Instructions

  • Optional: If you don't have some already, start by making a quick batch of pickled onions.
  • Preheat oven to 425 F and line a half baking sheet with parchment. Scrub potatoes clean and pat dry. Chop into ¼" cubes, add to a large mixing bowl, and toss with olive oil and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning.
  • Spread potatoes evenly onto the baking sheet and sprinkle with a big pinch of salt. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • While potatoes are baking, add ground beef to a hot frying pan and cook, breaking apart into small pieces until fully browned. Add taco seasoning and tomato paste, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
  • Make the sauce by combining greek yogurt, salsa and taco seasoning.
  • Assemble the bowls by layering potatoes, taco meat, tomato, lettuce, cotija cheese, pickled onions, and lots of sauce. Enjoy!
