Instructions

  1. 1 For taco seasoning, add chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, seasoned salt, and cayenne to a small bowl; stir to combine. Set aside.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  3. 3 Rub each sweet potato with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning. Wrap each sweet potato in foil and place on a baking sheet.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until fork tender, about 40 minutes.
  5. 5 Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil In a skillet over medium heat; add diced onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and 1/4 cup taco seasoning; cook and stir beef until browned and crumbly, breaking up clumps with a spatula, and mixing in seasoning as beef cooks, 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. 6 Stir in black beans; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir into the meat mixture and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. 7 To serve, slice potatoes open, and add a pinch of taco seasoning to the inside of each potato. Spoon in meat; top with cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeno, sour cream, cilantro, and more taco seasoning. Serve immediately.
