Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 55m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large russet potatoes
2 -3 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
cayenne pepper, to taste
1/2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon green chili, diced
2 tablespoons shredded 4-cheese Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F
  • Clean and scrub potatoes, then chop them into thick wedges.
  • Combine potato wedges, oil (you want just enough to coat the potatoes), garlic powder, and taco seasoning in a baking dish. Stir until well combined.
  • Spread potatoes out into a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown with a crispy outside. Stir occasionally during the baking time.
  • While potatoes are baking, combine the black beans, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally, cooking until the majority of the lime juice has been absorbed.
  • Remove beans from heat and mix with the tomato, green onion, and green chilies.
  • When potatoes are done, remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow cheese to melt.
  • Sprinkle with bean mixture and serve. We enjoy them with just the bean topping, but you could also serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole too!
