Servings
Ingredients
- 4 large potato
- olive oil spray
- to serve chives
- to serve fresh coriander leaves
Taco Filling
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/10 lb beef mince
- 1 sachet taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup bone broth
- 1 red capsicum
- 1 1/2 cups 3 cheese blend
- 3/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F.
- 2Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Microwave on high for 5–8 minutes, until slightly more tender but still firm enough to hold their shape.
- 3Allow the potatoes to cool enough to handle, then cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1 cm border around the edges to create potato boats (reserve the scooped potato for another use).
- 4Lightly spray the potato boats with olive oil spray and place them cut‑side up on a lined baking tray. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy.
- 5While the potatoes bake, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium‑high heat.
- 6Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
- 7Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato paste; cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- 8Add the bone broth and the finely diced red capsicum. Simmer for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the capsicum softens and most of the liquid evaporates.
- 9Sprinkle a little of the shredded cheese blend into the base of each crispy potato boat.
- 10Spoon the taco mince into each boat, then top with 1 tbsp sour cream and the remaining shredded cheese.
- 11Return the assembled boats to the oven for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- 12Garnish with chopped chives and fresh coriander leaves before serving.
