# Ingredients:

→ Potatoes and Seasonings

01 - 4 cups diced potatoes
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon paprika
04 - ½ teaspoon cumin
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
06 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Protein

07 - 1 pound ground beef or chicken
08 - 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

→ Toppings

09 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 - 1 cup corn kernels
11 - 1 cup drained black beans
12 - 1 cup diced tomatoes
13 - ½ cup diced red onion
14 - ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

→ Creamy Lime Sauce

15 - ½ cup sour cream
16 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
17 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, half the garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and crispy.
02 - Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or chicken and cook, breaking apart, until browned throughout. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, then simmer for several minutes to develop flavor and moisture.
03 - Whisk together sour cream, fresh lime juice, remaining garlic powder until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
04 - Distribute roasted potatoes evenly into bowls. Layer cooked protein on top, followed by shredded cheddar, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, and red onion.
05 - Drizzle creamy lime sauce over assembled bowls and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while warm.

# Tips:

01 - Soak diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting for extra crispiness.
02 - Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for brighter flavor.
03 - Cook the meat just until browned to maintain juiciness.
04 - Substitute sweet potatoes for a sweeter, more nutritious base.
05 - Add fresh jalapeños to increase heat level if desired.
06 - Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days.
07 - Reheat gently to preserve crispiness of potatoes and moisture of meat.
