Ingredients
  

3 large russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon chili powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup cooked ground beef (or turkey)

½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup diced tomatoes

¼ cup sliced green onions

½ cup sour cream

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Begin by thoroughly washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into wedges, leaving the skin on to enhance flavor and nutrition.

    Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the wedges gently but thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.

      Air Fry the Wedges: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer for optimal cooking. Air fry for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket midway through cooking to promote even crisping, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.

        Prepare the Taco Toppings: While the potato wedges are cooking, prepare the taco toppings. In a separate bowl, mix the cooked ground beef (or turkey) with black beans if you're using them. Set this mixture aside.

          Assemble the Loaded Wedges: Once the potato wedges are perfectly cooked, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a baking dish or a large serving platter. Evenly distribute the seasoned meat mixture over the warm wedges, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Return the dish to the air fryer for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Top and Serve: Carefully take the loaded potato wedges out of the air fryer. Top them with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and a generous dollop of sour cream. For a fresh burst of flavor, garnish with chopped cilantro.

              Enjoy: Serve your Crunchy Taco Loaded Potato Wedges warm, and watch them vanish as everyone enjoys this delicious twist on a classic dish!
