Notes
Short on time? Instead of baking the potatoes in the oven, you can microwave them on a microwave-safe dish for 8 minutes (2 potatoes at a time). Or do them in your air fryer following its guidelines.
Feel free to substitute with any of the following toppings: corn, jackfruit, jalapeรฑos, scallions, guacamole, sour cream, Greek yogurt, refried beans, grilled onions & peppers.
