Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Dice the russet potatoes into bite-sized cubes, spread them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook your chosen ground beef or turkey until browned, about 7–10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion to the skillet with the meat. Cook for another 5 minutes until the onion softens.
  5. Stir in the black beans and corn, heating for about 3 minutes, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
  6. In serving bowls, layer the crispy roasted potatoes first, then the meat mixture on top.
  7. Top with shredded cheddar cheese while hot, followed by cherry tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.
  8. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side.
