Ingredients
- 6 washed potatoes stabbed with a knife a few times to vent steam
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large eggplant skinned and diced into small bits
- 1 large zucchini diced finely
- 1 large onion diced finely
- 1 large bell pepper diced
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large tomato diced, as garnish

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Bake potatoes 40 minutes, or until soft.
- While potatoes are baking, brown ground beef in a very large pan.
- Add in vegetables.
- Cook vegetables and meat until veggies are soft and browned.
- Add in spices- if there isn't enough liquid from cooking off the vegetables, add up to 3 tbsp of water to help spices mix with meat and veggies.
- When potatoes are soft, cut in half.
- Mash potato up a little bit with a fork- keeping potato skin intact (this makes a little room inside the potato so you can add filling.)
- Add taco meat and veggie filling.
- Top with cheese.
- Place back in oven to melt cheese, about 5 minutes.
- Top with green onions and tomatoes, and serve!
