Loaded Potato Taco Bowl Meal Prep Ideas for Easy Healthy Weekdays

Some days you want comfort food that hugs you back, but still plays nice with your weekly meal prep goals. That’s where these loaded potato taco bowls come in. They’ve got the crispy potatoes you crave, the fresh toppings that make you feel balanced, and enough flavor to make leftovers exciting. I like to think of them as a mash-up between a taco night and a cozy baked potato dinner. The potatoes roast until golden, the seasoned chicken and beans bring the protein, and the toppings let you get creative. Add salsa, cheese, avocado, or whatever’s hanging out in your fridge. What makes this recipe a keeper is how well it fits into meal prep. Pack them up in containers, store them for the week, and you’ve got a lunch or dinner that feels fresh every time you reheat it. It’s hearty, colorful, and proof that meal prep doesn’t have to feel like a chore.
