Taco Potatoes are crazy good. I love everything about this fun and delicious meal. Taco potatoes take ordinary baked potatoes to new heights! Seasoned ground beef, cheese, lettuce, sour cream and salsa. Everything you love about a taco all over a potato.

This recipe was too easy, and so good! My kids loved them, my hubby loved them, and obviously I did, too… or I wouldn’t be blogging about them. 🙂 I’m a potato-loving freak, and this fun way to eat them makes me love them even more!

This is the perfect weather for a “stuffed” potato, and such a good flavor.

Sounds good! The time can be shortened if you use a microwave potato bag!!! I sew them for Amazon. Check out Microwavepotatobags.com on Amazon. Awesome 3 to 4 minutes and your potato is done!!!

What a fabulous and deliciously easy breezy meal! Another thing I love about the “Taco Baked Potato” recipe is it’s one of those “Read once and remember every single ingredient forever” recipe. Thanks!

These were so easy, and everyone enjoyed them for Mexican night. Having never made stuffed potatoes before, I was worried it wasn’t going to be enough food. Thankfully I just went with it because it ended up being more then enough! These are very filling, very delicious and definitely worth repeating. Hubs and kids approved!

We loved this. the second time that i made these I rubbed the potato with olive oil and then lightly sprinkled the entire skin with taco seasoning before wrapping in the foil. this infused the potato with a little more flavor. excellent addition.
