# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Main

01 - 450 grams ground beef
02 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
03 - 15 millilitres olive oil
04 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
07 - 1 teaspoon paprika
08 - 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
09 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
10 - 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
11 - 60 millilitres beef broth
12 - 60 millilitres salsa
13 - 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
14 - 120 millilitres sour cream
15 - 10 grams chopped cilantro
16 - 1 lime, cut into wedges

# How to Prepare:

01 - Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
02 - Add diced potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown and tender.
03 - While potatoes cook, peel and finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
04 - Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate and set aside.
05 - Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 5 to 7 minutes until fully browned.
06 - Stir in chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until onion becomes soft and translucent.
07 - Add cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
08 - Pour in beef broth and salsa, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
09 - Return cooked potatoes to the skillet. Stir to coat in the sauce and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
10 - Spoon the beef and potato mixture into serving bowls. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped cilantro.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For crispier potatoes, fry in batches or increase heat. Adjust spiciness by adding jalapeños or hot sauce. Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner variation. Serve with flour tortillas or corn chips for additional texture. For a dairy-free version, replace sour cream with avocado or a plant-based yogurt.
