Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (washed and dried)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Fresh lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Pierce each russet potato a few times with a fork. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place directly on the baking sheet and roast for about 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skins are crispy and insides tender.
  3. Dry the rinsed chickpeas thoroughly with paper towels. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, chili powder (if using), and salt. When potatoes have about 20 minutes left, spread chickpeas on a separate baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes.
  4. Toss steak strips with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add steak strips in a single layer and cook about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest.
  5. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin. Brush inside with olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Return to oven for 5-7 minutes to crisp skins.
  6. Fill each potato skin with steak strips, add crispy chickpeas, and top with shredded cheddar cheese if using. Bake for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts.
  7. Garnish with sliced avocado, dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt, fresh cilantro or parsley, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.

Notes

Dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to ensure crispiness. Slice steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. If potatoes are not crisping enough, increase oven temperature slightly or bake longer but watch closely to avoid burning. For dairy-free, omit cheese and sour cream or use plant-based alternatives.
