For the Taco Filling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the potatoes become perfectly crispy.
  2. In a bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  3. Spread them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Air fry the potatoes for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to achieve an even crisp and golden color.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground meat. Cook until browned, draining the excess fat once it's fully cooked.
  3. Add the taco seasoning to the browned meat, along with a splash of water, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Assembly
  1. To assemble the bowls, start with a generous layer of the roasted potatoes.
  2. Top with the seasoned meat, then sprinkle on the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and avocado.
  3. Finish with a sprinkle of shredded cheese, followed by a dollop of sour cream and a handful of lettuce. Serve immediately.
