Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 420F.
Step 2
Wash potatoes then pierce them several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet, then bake in the oven for about 50 minutes until you can easily pierce them with a knife or fork. Allow them to cool on a baking rack until they can be handled.
Step 3
Set oven to broil.
Step 4
Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat and spray it with avocado oil. Toss in onions, garlic and bell pepper and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions are brown and translucent. Do NOT burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the flank steak and cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes, until desired readiness.
Step 6
Slice each potato in half, lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh but leave about a 1/4-inch in the potato. Set aside the scooped out potato for another recipe but don’t toss it away.
Step 7
Spray the halves with avocado oil, then sprinkle on the skin seasonings.
Step 8
Broil the halves for roughly 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Begin with skin side up (open face down), then flip up for the remaining time, until the edges are crispy.
Step 9
Remove the halves from the oven, then add mozzarella cheese, steak mix, then Monterrey jack cheese.
Step 10
Broil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Step 11
Remove from the oven, then garnish and enjoy.
