Easy Vegetarian Taco Baked Potato

I once overheard someone in a breakroom say they were having Taco Baked Potatoes for dinner. I was intrigued! I had never heard of such a thing and was anxious to try the idea. Some time passed and I had forgotten about it until one day I was trying to use up leftover taco toppings.

The forgotten idea came back to me so I decided to make my own vegetarian variation. My family loves these Vegetarian Taco Baked Potatoes! Not only do I love them, but it makes dinner so easy for me! You can stuff and pile on your favorite taco toppings, so each person in your family can make them the way they’d like.
