Step 1

You’ll want to begin by washing and baking your potatoes. I like to wrap mine in parchment paper and foil and then bake them in the oven at 400°F for approximately 1 hour, depending on the size of the potato.

Step 2

Another quicker option is to microwave the potatoes on high for around 5-6 minutes, again depending on the size of the potato. You’ll want to poke a few holes in the potatoes and wrap them in a damp paper towel before cooking so there won’t be an explosion in your microwave.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, go ahead and prepare the taco bean filling.

Step 4

Begin by making the taco flavored beans. This is another great versatile part of the recipe because you can really use any type of bean you like best.

Step 5

I tend to make a blend of black beans and red kidney beans. Sometimes I also like to add pintos. Make your own fresh beans in an Instant Pot or buy canned.

Step 6

If using canned beans, I always recommend dumping them in a colander and rinsing to remove some of the salt and preservatives.

Step 7

Add the cooked beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, bulgur (if using), and taco seasoning to a microwavable bowl or pot and heat until warm.

Step 8

Normally, I have my bulgur already cooked and stored in the freezer for recipes like this, but it is super easy to add uncooked bulgur if you prefer.

Step 9

Simply add the uncooked bulgur to the mixture of beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, and taco seasoning. There will already be some liquid from the fire-roasted tomatoes, but you’ll need to mix in an extra 1/2 cup of water and allow it to heat on the stovetop or microwave until the bulgur is cooked.

Step 10

While this is heating up or cooking (if using raw bulgur), go ahead and chop up the veggies you want to use. I love to include lettuce, tomato, onions, and cilantro. Once everything is ready, it’s time to slice and stuff those potatoes.

Step 11

Delicious, healthy baked potatoes can be stuffed and seasoned with your favorite taco toppings like salsa, vegan sour cream, green chives, and Cheese’ Sauce! It’s time for a fiesta!

Step 12

In a medium pot, bring about 3 cups of water to a boil. Place potatoes, carrots, and onion in the pot and allow to cook until veggies are tender approximately 15 minutes. Cooking time will vary based on how small the veggies are diced.

Step 13

When veggies are tender, drain and place them in a blender. NOTE: reserve 1 cup of the broth, and add to blender. Add all the remaining ingredients, and blend until smooth.

Step 14

Now you are ready to load your taco potato. Cut baked potatoes open and press on sides like this.

Step 15

Push the sides in a little bit to widen and soften them.

Step 16

Add spoonfuls of the bean/bulgur/taco mixture. Next, drizzle the cheese sauce over the top. Other toppings we enjoy are vegan sour cream, salsa (bought or my recipe link below), fresh cilantro, and diced green onions. Serve immediately.
