Can I use frozen diced potatoes instead?

Absolutely. While fresh potatoes give the best texture, frozen diced potatoes work in a pinch. Just adjust cooking time and expect slightly less crispiness.

How do I store and reheat these bowls?

Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat: Microwave for 1–2 minutes Or reheat potatoes separately in an air fryer for better texture

Can I freeze this meal prep?

You can , but with a small tweak. The fresh pico de gallo doesn’t freeze well. If you plan to freeze: Skip the pico Add fresh toppings after reheating

What are some extra topping ideas?

Oh, this is where it gets fun: Shredded cheese Sour cream or Greek yogurt Avocado slices Hot sauce Roasted cauliflower (great for lowering calories!)

Will I get bored eating this all week?

Surprisingly, no! Many people say the flavors actually deepen over time. It’s one of those meals that somehow tastes better each day.

Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash and cube potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with olive oil and seasonings. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 30–35 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, air fry at 400°F for 20–25 minutes.
Make the Pico de Gallo
Dice tomato, jalapeño, and red onion. Add to a bowl with chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Cook the Taco Meat
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef with all seasonings for 8–10 minutes until browned. Optional: add extra diced onion for flavor.
Prepare the Sauce

Assemble Meal Prep Bowls
Divide roasted potatoes and taco meat into 4 containers. Top with pico de gallo and drizzle with sriracha mayo. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Potatoes may lose crispiness when reheated but still taste delicious.

For extra crisp, reheat potatoes in an air fryer instead of microwave.

Frozen diced potatoes can be used as a shortcut.

Add toppings like cheese, avocado, or sour cream for variation.

Best consumed within 4 days; avoid freezing with fresh pico.
