Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Scrub and pierce potatoes. Bake at 375 degrees F for 1 hour or until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell (refrigerate pulp for another use). Brush inside and outside of potato shells with butter. Place cut side up on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add tomatoes and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Spoon into potato shells; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Top with sour cream and onions.
Footnotes
- Taco Potato Shells also make a hearty appetizer. Cut the potato shells into wedges, top with the meat mixture and cheese. Bake as directed; serve with sour cream and onions.

So AWESOME!! A new favorite in our family for sure. It gave the kind of getting boring taco or burrito dinners a whole new twist. The potato had a yummy crunch from the baking prior to the fill...
This is a great recipe! The only thing that I changed was I used ground turkey and a cheesy taco seasoning. I also put the meat in the shells and melted the cheese on top but set aside tomatoe...

Despite all the work to do these it is well worth it. Absolutely delicious and two thumbs up from hubby. I followed others suggestions and baked the potato the previous day.
