Southwest Loaded Potatoes by

Tags: college

Ingredients

4 small potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
½ each red and green peppers, diced
½ white onion, diced
1 cup frozen yellow corn
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup shredded cheddar or mexican blend cheese
4 strips of bacon, cooked and diced or crumbled
sour cream or ranch dressing

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil and spray with cooking spray. You can cook the potatoes EITHER in the oven, drizzled with the olive oil, for about 45-50 minutes OR you can cover the potatoes and microwave on high 6-8 minutes for each potato and then drizzle with olive oil and cook in the oven for about 10 minutes to crisp up the outsides.
While potatoes are cooking, add peppers and onions to a large nonstick pan or skillet sprayed with cooking spray for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat until veggies start to brown a little bit. Stir in black beans, corn, taco seasoning and salt. Cook another 1-2 minutes stirring throughout.
Once potatoes are cooked, carefully slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides. (You can either discard the extra potatoes or keep them and use them for another recipe like mashed potatoes or in a soup). Fill each potato skin with 3-4 tablespoons of the veggie filling. Top with shredded cheese. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted. Top with bacon and cilantro and either drizzle with sour cream/ranch dressing, or serve with sauces for dipping. Enjoy!
