INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Roast the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread them cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30–35 minutes until golden and crispy.
Step 2: Cook the Taco Meat
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through.
Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water (about ¼ cup). Simmer for 5–6 minutes until thickened.
Step 3: Assemble the Dish
Arrange roasted potatoes on a serving plate in a circular pattern or as a base layer.
Top generously with the hot taco meat.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the meat and let it melt slightly.
Add a dollop of sour cream in the center and scatter diced tomatoes over the top.
Finish with a garnish of chopped parsley or cilantro.
