Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Wash potatoes well, then poke with a fork. Bake for about 1 hour, depending on the size of the potato, until outside is crispy and potato can easily be pierced with a knife.
2. Meanwhile, mix together all spices for taco seasoning. Cook ground beef until browned. Pour off fat. Add 2-3 tablespoons water and about half the taco seasoning per pound of ground beef. Cook over medium-low heat until flavors are combined. Taste, and add more seasoning if you'd like.
3. To assemble, cut potato in half lengthwise. If potato is very large, remove some of the inside and save for mashed potatoes or hashbrowns. Generously salt and pepper inside of potato (and even add butter if you'd like).
4. Place toppings on potato just as you would a taco--ground beef, cheese, sour cream, etc.
5. Serve hot!
