01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 450°F (230°C). Toss the potato slices with a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in a big bowl until they’re nicely coated. Lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pop them in the oven and bake until they turn golden and crispy, about 20 minutes.

Step 2
While the potatoes are cooking, warm a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook it, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s nicely browned—about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain any extra grease, then stir in the black beans, taco seasoning, and water. Let everything simmer gently for around 10 minutes so the flavors can come together.

Step 3
Once the potatoes are done, arrange them on a serving plate and sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the top. Spoon the meat and bean mixture over the potatoes, then add the rest of the cheese. Finish by spreading shredded lettuce over everything and garnish with chopped tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole. Enjoy!
