Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 450°F (230°C). Toss the potato slices with a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in a big bowl until they’re nicely coated. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pop them in the oven and bake until they turn golden and crispy, about 20 minutes.

Step 2
While the potatoes are baking, warm a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook it, breaking it up as it browns, for around 8 to 10 minutes. Once it’s cooked through, drain any extra grease. Stir in the black beans, taco seasoning, and a splash of water. Let it come to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for about 10 minutes so all the flavors meld together.

Step 3
When the potatoes are done, spread half of the cheddar cheese over them while they’re still warm. Spoon the meat and bean mixture on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cheese over everything. Finish by layering on the shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and dollops of sour cream and guacamole. Serve it up and enjoy!
