Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Potatoes
  • 3 medium potatoes (cut into cubes)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
For the Taco Filling
  • 300 g ground beef
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1–2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 2–3 tbsp water (as needed for sauce)
Fresh Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 1 tomato diced
  • 1/2 cup corn (optional)
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
Optional Sauces
  • 2–3 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Salsa or spicy sauce
  • Lime juice for freshness

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Toss potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25–35 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté onion until soft, then add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  5. Stir in tomato paste, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add a little water to create a slightly saucy texture. Simmer for 3–5 minutes.
  6. Assemble the bowl: start with roasted potatoes, add taco filling, then layer fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato, corn, and avocado.
  7. Finish with cheese and your choice of sauce. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Keep potatoes in a single layer while roasting for crispiness.
  • Add a splash of lime juice before serving for freshness.
  • For meal prep, store components separately for best texture.
