Ingredients
🥔 4 large Russet potatoes
🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil
🧂 Pink Himalayan salt, to taste
🌶️ Black pepper, to taste
🥩 1 pound Angus steak
🌿 1 teaspoon Adobo seasoning
🌾 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🌱 1 teaspoon ground cumin
🧄 1 teaspoon onion powder
🔥 1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
🧈 2 tablespoons butter
🧀 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
🍅 1 cup pico de gallo
🥄 1/2 cup sour cream
🥑 1/2 cup guacamole
🌮 Mild taco sauce, to taste
Instructions
1- Preheat Oven and Prepare Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the Russet potatoes clean and dry them thoroughly.
- Coat each potato with olive oil and season them generously with pink Himalayan salt and black pepper.
- Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
2- Prepare the Steak:
- Season the Angus steak with adobo, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, and smoked Spanish paprika.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Sear the steak on both sides, cooking to your preferred doneness (medium-well is recommended).
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
3- Assemble the Loaded Baked Potatoes:
- Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven and unwrap them. Slice each potato down the middle and fluff the interior with a fork.
- Add a tablespoon of butter to each potato, mixing it in with a fork to melt and combine.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the fluffed potato.
- Top with the cooked steak pieces, followed by a helping of pico de gallo, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of guacamole.
- Drizzle with mild taco sauce to taste.
4- Serve:
- Serve the loaded baked potatoes warm on a plate. Enjoy with a fork, savoring every bite of this flavorful fusion!
