# How to Prepare:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Wash Russet potatoes thoroughly and pat dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork, then wrap in aluminium foil. Arrange directly on oven rack and bake for 60 minutes until potatoes are tender.

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until well browned. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add taco seasoning and water as directed on packet, stir to combine, bring to a boil, then decrease heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

Remove baked potatoes from foil and allow to cool briefly. Slice each potato open lengthwise, gently pressing to create a pocket. Spoon seasoned beef into each potato and top with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and sliced green onion as desired.
