4 to 6 medium Russet potatoes Choose firm potatoes for the best texture.
1 pound lean ground beef Opt for lean meat to keep it healthy without sacrificing flavor.
1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning Use your favorite brand or homemade mix for a personalized touch.
shredded lettuce Fresh lettuce adds crunch and color to each potato.
cheddar cheese Shredded cheese melts beautifully over the hot potatoes.
sour cream Creamy sour cream balances the spiciness of the taco seasoning.
salsa Choose mild or spicy salsa depending on your preference.
guacamole A dollop of guacamole elevates this dish to another level of deliciousness.
green onion Chopped green onions give a fresh and zesty finish.

Preheat oven to 400° F. Wash potatoes in water, then pat dry with paper towels. Poke a few holes in each potato, then wrap each of them in foil. Bake potatoes for 1 hour. Carefully remove hot potatoes from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large skillet, brown and crumble ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain grease, if any. Add taco seasoning to beef and amount of water packet calls for. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove foil from potatoes then cut a slit in the top to open. Fill each potato with ground beef and all of your favorite taco toppings. Enjoy!
