Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the diced Yukon gold potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned, draining any excess fat.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/3 cup of water into the browned beef. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Gently fold in the drained black beans and corn into the skillet and heat through for a few minutes.

Assembly

  • Layer the bowls starting with roasted potatoes, then top with the beef mixture, a scoop of salsa, shredded cheese, green onions, and cilantro.

Storage

  • Allow the bowls to cool completely before sealing. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat by microwaving for 2-3 minutes or warming in an oven.
