She shoots, she scores! Yes, this recipe was a huge success in our house. I’ve made it many times but never shared it with you. Well, today is your lucky day. This recipe was inspired by Laura at Heavenly Homemakers and her recipe for Taco Potatoes. She includes meat, heavy cream and cheese her recipe so I’ve adapted it to make it plant-strong!
Taco Potatoes
Ingredients
- Cooked Baked Potatoes (1 per person)
- 2 cups Quinoa “Taco Meat” OR Quinoa-Lentil Tacos
- 2 cups of cooked black beans OR 1 can of drained and rinsed beans (optional)
- 1 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup plain plant-based yogurt (optional)
- guacamole (optional)
- 1/2 cup corn
Do
- Cut cooked potatoes in half and scoop out some of the potato. I just cubed the potato for my kids.
- Fill the void with beans and quinoa.
- Top with your choice of fresh salsa, plant-based yogurt (for a tangy topping reminiscent of sour cream), guacamole and corn.
Serve
My husband and I LOVED this! My kids not as much. My two year old mostly wanted to eat all of the fresh salsa but he did finish his potato and quinoa. The 4 year old probably would have done better if all of the food was separated but he ate it.
This would be so easy to take to a potluck and is easy to throw together with leftovers.

What a great gluten free meal idea! It looks fabulous!
This was awesome!! I am adding it to my meal rotation 🙂
I’m glad you like it! I need to make it again soon! I love how filling and simple it is.
My 6yr old ate it all (except the salsa) and the 2yr old at least at avocado and the quinoa, and that is saying a lot, he never eats grains!! But this recipe, he loved!
