  • 4 to 6 medium Russet potatoes Choose firm potatoes for the best texture.

  • 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.

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
