  • Total Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 small potatoes, scrubbed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1-2 teaspoons salt

1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup corn

1/4 cup diced tomato

2 tablespoons diced red onion

2 tablespoons diced jalapeno

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1/3 cup cheddar jack cheese

2-3 tablespoons sour cream

1 green onion, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Chop your onions and jalapeno.
  3. Wash and scrub the potatoes, then pat dry and pierce with a fork on all sides.
  4. Brush the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Arrange on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until tender. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool enough to be handled.
  6. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and spoon out the inside of the potato, leaving about 1/4 inch left inside.
  7. Arrange the potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet, then brush the outside with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  8. Baker for 8 minutes, remove from the oven, flip so the cut side is upright and bake for an additional 8 minutes.
  9. While they’re baking for the final 8 minutes, warm the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeno over medium heat in a small skillet. Stir as it’s warming to combine everything.
  10. Once the potatoes are done, leave them on the baking sheet and fill them with the mixture and top with cheese. Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  11. Top with sour cream and green onion to serve.
