TACO-STUFFED POTATO SKINS

Steps:

Using a sharp knife, pierce holes in the potatoes so the steam escapes. Place them on a large cookie sheet and bake for 50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before handling.
• While the potatoes are cooking prepare your stuffing. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up into small chunks. If you are working with lean beef make sure to add oil to the pan to prevent sticking. Once the beef is browned, drain off most of the grease if necessary.
• Add the onion, jalapeno, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add the salt, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Add the cold water and deglaze the pan by scraping off the browned bits.
• Once the water has evaporated slightly, add the frozen corn and allow to defrost. Turn the heat to medium-low and add the black beans. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add the cilantro. Set aside.
• Once the potatoes are done cooking and cooled to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out most of the meat of the potato. Reserve the potato for later use for other recipes or for mashed potatoes.
• Turn the oven to broiler. Brush the outside of the potato skins with melted butter and sprinkle with salt. Place under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from the oven.
