# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread diced potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and evenly sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat thoroughly.
02 - Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown, turning halfway through for even cooking.
03 - In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Drain excess fat. Add chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion; cook for 5 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
04 - Stir in black beans and corn kernels, cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
05 - Divide roasted potatoes into serving bowls. Top with the meat mixture, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese. Add cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro on top.
06 - Serve bowls garnished with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For extra crispiness, soak diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting and dry thoroughly.
