Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15 ounce) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  2. Prick each potato with a fork, rub with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until tender.
