- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Taco Meat

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Dice the russet potatoes into evenly sized cubes. Toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

- Meanwhile, cook the ground beef or turkey in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into smaller pieces until browned and fully cooked.
- Add the taco seasoning, tomato sauce, and water. Stir well and simmer until the meat is evenly coated and the sauce has thickened.
- Prepare the toppings by shredding the lettuce, dicing the tomatoes, slicing the avocado, and chopping the cilantro and green onions.
- Divide the baked potatoes among serving bowls. Add the taco meat and shredded cheese.
- Top with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and sour cream.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and green onions. Serve immediately.
