Fiesta Baked Potatoes

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Serves: 4
The Mexican-inspired potatoes are a healthful gluten free meal. Make extra of the
beef/veggie mixture to use later in the week for quesadillas or tacos salad. Top
potatoes with 1 Tbsp. lowfat cheese or Greek yogurt for extra protein.
