1 Tbsp Pico de Gallo prepared

1 oz avocado sliced

1 tsp sea salt

Poke potatoes with a fork all over to help with even cooking.

While the potatoes are baking, cook the ground beef in a pan with the taco seasoning for 10 minutes on medium heat.

After 60 minutes, pull the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.

After cooling the potatoes, cut them open lengthwise.
