Ingredients

    ~6 med-lg baked potatoes
    ~1/2 lg bell pepper, chopped
    ~2 med sized roma tomatoes, chopped
    ~1 cup of dried black beans, soaked (or a can)
    ~1 can corn, drained
    ~1 packet of taco seasoning mixed with 3/4 cup of water
    ~1 Heaping Tablespoon Cream Cheese (full fat)
    ~juice from 1/2 or whole lime

Tips

Prep time is 60 mins because I included the time for baking the potatoes & quick soaking the beans. To save time use canned beans and microwave the potatoes. (Don't forget to poke a lot of holes first!)


Directions

add peppers and a few tablespoons of water to a pot over medium heat and simmer until peppers are partially cooked, adding a little more water if/when needed.
Add in tomatoes for about a minute and then stir in beans, corn & prepared taco seasoning. Stir occasionally.
When the ingredients are heated up, add in the cream cheese and stir until melted in & evenly distributed.
Add the juice of the lime to your desired taste ( I do half and then use the other half for serving with the meal since the kids like adding their own).
Place a baked potato on each plate that will be served and cut it down the middle lengthwise. Place a large scoop of the taco mixture on top of the potato and serve with a dollop of sour cream or other favorite taco toppings
