  • Potatoes,
  • 1 can of black beans
  • Salsa

Toppings:

  • 1 cup of frozen corn
  • 2 Avocados
  • Cilantro for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Start by choosing your favourite potato. I like red potatoes but you can use whatever you have on hand. Russet, yellow and even sweet potatoes will work with this recipe.
  2. Prepare your potatoes. You can steam or bake them.
  3. Take one can of black beans, rinse and add them to a saucepan with 1 cup of Add 1 cup of frozen corn (optional). You can use more or less salsa depending on your taste and how thick the salsa is. Stir and heat.
  4. Optional: Take 2 avocados and cut into pieces. Chop up some fresh cilantro. Set aside.
  5. Once your potatoes are cooked you will just put them on your plate. If you baked your potatoes whole, cut them up into pieces for nacho style or leave them whole if you prefer and just slice open.
  6. Pour the bean, salsa and corn mixture on top of the potatoes. Garnish with avocado and cilantro (optional) and serve.

Enjoy!

 


*Steam the potatoes: Peel your potatoes and cut them into evenly sized pieces. Place them in a pot with an inch or 2 of water in the bottom and put the lid on. Cook on your stovetop and monitor the water level so they don’t get dry. If you have an Instant Pot: Peel and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Add an inch of water to the instant pot and put the potatoes on a rack or in a steam basket. Set the timer for 3 minutes and let the pressure release naturally. *If you steam the potatoes you can make this recipe in less than 20 minutes including prep and cooking times.

*Baked Potatoes: Wash and dry your potatoes before placing them on a baking sheet. Poke them with a fork and bake for about 45 minutes at 425 depending on the size of your potatoes.
