Ingredients
  

For the roasted potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes (or Yukon Gold), halved Choose similar-sized baby potatoes for even roasting.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • to taste Salt and pepper

For the protein and toppings

  • 1 pound ground halal chicken (or ground turkey) Use ground turkey if desired.
  • 1 packet taco seasoning Or 2 tablespoons homemade taco mix.
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels Can be fresh, frozen and thawed, or roasted.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or chopped greens
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo or diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • optional sliced jalapeños, sliced avocado, pickled onions Optional toppings.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the halved potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them cut-side down on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Roasting the Potatoes

  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until potatoes are golden and tender. They should be slightly crispy on the edges and soft inside.

Cooking the Protein

  • While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water, simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce clings to the meat.

Warming Beans and Corn

  • In a small saucepan or microwave, warm the black beans and corn together, seasoning lightly with salt and a squeeze of lime.

Assembling the Bowls

  • Divide roasted potatoes between bowls. Top with a scoop of seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, shredded cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with cilantro, avocado slices, and lime wedges.

Serving

  • Encourage guests to squeeze lime over their bowls and mix layers together for the best flavor combination.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, leave them cut-side down on the sheet for the first 10 minutes to develop a golden crust. Store leftover components separately in airtight containers for up to 3–4 days.
