# Ingredients:

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 1 medium onion, diced
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 2 tablespoons taco seasoning or 1 packet
07 - 1 cup beef broth or water
08 - 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
09 - 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
10 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
11 - 1 cup sour cream
12 - 1 cup salsa
13 - 1 avocado, diced
14 - 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
15 - Salt and pepper, to taste
16 - Lime wedges for garnish
17 - Tortilla chips for serving (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
03 - Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
04 - Stir in the taco seasoning and beef broth (or water). Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens and is well combined.
05 - Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, then add the corn kernels and black beans. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
06 - Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper as needed.
07 - To assemble the taco bowls, divide the beef and potato mixture evenly among serving bowls.
08 - Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
09 - Serve with lime wedges on the side and optional tortilla chips for extra crunch.

# Notes:

01 - You can customize this recipe by adding other toppings like jalapenos, sliced olives, or pickled onions for extra flavor.
02 - To make it a bit spicier, consider using a spicy salsa or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.
