This makes a nice, meatless meal option. Most of the time spent making it is hands off while the potatoes bake up. If you want your skins to be super crispy, then once you hollow them out, brush them with more oil and return them to the oven for a few minutes before filling them.

4 servings
  1. 4russet potatoes, scrubbed well and dried
  2. as neededolive oil
  3. to tastesalt and pepper
  4. 1 can (15 oz.)unsalted black beans, drained and rinsed
  5. 1small bell pepper, diced

  7. 1 clovegarlic, minced
  8. 1/2 cupfrozen corn

  10. 1/4 tsp.ground cumin
  11. 1/4 tsp.chili powder
  12. juice from 1/2 lime
  13. shredded Colby jack cheese

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 F. Slice the potatoes in half, length wise, and rub olive oil over the halves. Season the skin side with salt and pepper and lay them skin side down on a parchment lined baking tray. Bake for 40 or so minutes, flipping the potatoes every 10 minutes to keep them baking evenly and to prevent burning, until the potatoes are tender. Once they're done, remove them from the oven and start the filling while they cool slightly.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp. of olive oil over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the pepper and onion and cook until they have begun to soften, about 5 or so minutes. Then stir in the garlic, black beans, corn and seasonings. Stir and cook another couple of minutes until fragrant, then stir in the salsa. Remove from the heat and set it aside.

  3. 3

    Your potatoes should have cooled enough to handle by now. Use a spoon to hollow out the insides of each half, but leave enough potato on the bottom and around the sides to make sure the skins are still sturdy. Spoon the black bean filling into each potato half and top with some shredded cheese. Return them to the oven for 5-10 minutes, until the filling is nice and hot and the cheese has melted. Then that's it!

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
