Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Taco Potatoes is a sure-fire kid pleaser. You can even let them eat it with their hands! I love how easy this recipe is to prepare and it is a great twist on the traditional baked potato or taco night. Be sure to pare it with this Homemade Guacamole recipe too!
I often make these in my crockpot when I am going to be out for several hours. When I come home I am ready to make dinner in 15 - 20 minutes!Some of my other favorites potatoes include Sour Cream & Chive Baked Potato, Easy Cheesy Twice Baked Potatoes and Cheeseburger Stuffed Baked Potato.
