Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Dice russet potatoes into small cubes. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until coated. Spread on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast potatoes for 25-30 minutes. Flip halfway through to ensure even crisping. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef or turkey for 7-10 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until onion is soft and translucent.
  5. Incorporate black beans and corn kernels, mixing gently. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until warmed through.
  6. Assemble by dividing the roasted potatoes between bowls, topping each with the meat mixture.
  7. Add toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, diced cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream. Encourage squeezing lime over the bowls for flavor.
