- Use fresh herbs like cilantro and fun toppings like salsa, chopped tomatoes, red onion, a little cheese, a dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream.
- Don't use too much chili powder on your potatoes if you don't like heat. Chili powder can be pretty spicy.
- Be mindful of the portion of each component as these bowls are pretty large and will fill you up. Calories also add up if it's something you pay attention too.

Can't wait to try. Might have to use mini tots with taco seasoning and fresh pico. Might even meal prep a batch. I know they won't be as good as fresh made but will make for quick easy mornings. Thanks for the recipe.
