Ingredients
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 3/4-inch pieces
2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
1 pound ground beef or turkey (93/7 lean)
15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potato cubes with olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking up clumps. Stir in black beans, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and remaining salt/pepper. Simmer 5-7 minutes.
Divide roasted potatoes among bowls. Top each with meat mixture, shredded cheese, and desired toppings like tomatoes, cilantro, avocados, etc. Let cheese melt slightly before serving.
