stuffed potato skins

a new favorite at our house.

well, for The P & I (and all of our recent house guests) at least.

the boys are still warming up to them.

Stuffed Potato Skins

1 lb hamburger or diced/shredded chicken breast

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup frozen corn

1 can diced tomatoes, drained

1 clove garlic, minced    

2 tsp cumin

salt & pepper to taste

1/2 - 1 cup sour cream

Pierce potato with a fork a few times all around. Place in microwave and cook on high about 5 minutes per potato. When finished, allow to cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes in half horizontally. Scoop out potatoes leaving about 1/4 inch thick wall.

In a large skillet brown the hamburger/chicken and season with salt & pepper. When the meat is browned, add garlic, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, and cumin. Mix well and simmer on low, covered for 15-20 minutes.

Heat oven to 450°. Lightly spray potato skins on both sides with oil and place a foil lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and bake skins for 10 minutes.

Remove skins from the oven, add sour cream to meat mixture and then fill each potato skin.  Top with shredded cheese and bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.  Top with additional sour cream.

Sooooo Good!
