Ingredients
Scale
- 6 russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can kidney beans
- 1 can diced and fire roasted tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper
- Chopped Parsley
- Greek yogurt or sour cream (to garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Scrub, dry and poke the potatoes 8-10 times using the tines of a fork. Using your hands rub the potatoes with a little avocado oil or olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Place them on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake potatoes for 50-60 minutes or until they are cooked through. Let them sit until cool enough to handle.
- When the potatoes are in the oven, make the chili.
- Add ground beef to the pan and cook, breaking up the meat, until it is cooked through (about 5-8 minutes).
- Add kidney beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, water, chili powder, garlic powder and paprika and stir to combine. Let simmer for 5 minutes for all the flavors to combine and thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When potatoes are done, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a spoon scoop out the flesh out leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch around the inside of the skin.
- Use avocado oil spray and spray the tops and bottoms of the of the potato skins. Using the same baking sheet that you cooked the potatoes on place in oven for 10 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the skins from the oven and fill each with some chili then cook for another 5 minutes to warm it all together.
- Top with a dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream and parsley to garnish!
Notes
- If you want to prep the day before, make the potato skins and chili and store separately in the fridge. When you want to serve, preheat the oven to 450 degrees and assemble the skins with the chili and bake for about 15 minutes to heat and crisp them.
