# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet (13×18 inches) with parchment or foil.
02 - Spread diced potatoes in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Roast potatoes for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
04 - While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook for 7–8 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
05 - Add chili powder, cumin, and chopped red onion to the meat. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until onion softens.
06 - Stir in black beans and corn. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
07 - Divide crispy potatoes among 4 bowls (about 1 cup each). Top each with about 3/4 cup meat mixture.
08 - Sprinkle 3–4 tablespoons shredded cheddar over each bowl; let sit 30 seconds to melt.
09 - Add cherry tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream.
