Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This sets the stage for perfectly baked potatoes.

Step 2: Bake the Potatoes

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pierce each one with a fork several times. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender (you’ll know they’re done when you can easily pierce through with a fork).

Step 3: Prepare the Taco Filling

While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked ground beef or turkey (if using) and taco seasoning. Stir for about 3-5 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Step 4: Mix in the Beans and Salsa

In a large bowl, combine the black beans and salsa with the seasoned meat. Mix well and set aside. This mixture will be the delicious filling for your potatoes.

Step 5: Assemble the Potatoes

Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and gently scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create room for the filling.

Step 6: Fill with Taco Mixture

Spoon the taco beef and bean mixture generously into each potato half. Top with shredded cheese.

Step 7: Bake Again

Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8: Serve and Garnish

Remove the potatoes from the oven, drizzle with sour cream, and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, taco goodness!
