247 calorie Tex Mex inspired air fried potato with salsa

247 calories is for everything on the plate. Potato had 58% of interior scooped out – see notes for calculations.

tex mex corn and black bean salsa

Makes 6 cups (used 1 cup in potato)

* 92 g corn
* 110 g red onion
* 278 g black beans
* 60 g jalapeno
* 235 g tomatoes
* 125 g yellow bell pepper

salsa dressing

* ½ tsp cumin
* ½ tsp chili powder
* ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
* 1 to 3 T sweetener of choice (I used allulose, add a little or a lot depending on taste)
* 1 tsp vegan chicken salt (or optionally garlic + onion powder + salt)
* 2 T lime juice
* 1 tsp oil

Dressing will taste very tart on its own, but when you add it to the veggies it tastes balanced.

I air-fried potatoes using a convection oven and prepped them with with salt/black pepper/garlic powder rub. For this one, scooped out 58% of insides. Filled with 1 cup of salsa and 23 grams of avocado plus scallions and cilantro.

If you want to shorten cook time you can microwave potatoes for a few minutes before air frying.

You can use scooped out potato for cauli mash, potato salad, or other side.

How to calculate cals for scooped out potatoes:

1 weigh raw potato

2. weigh potato after baking

3. weigh potato after scooping out interior

4. calculate cals for original raw potato (261 cals, in my example)

5. multiply the percent of potato remaining after scooping out times original cals to get final calories (.42 x 261 = 109.6 cals)

This looks so satisfying! How long do you air fry the potato for and at what temperature? It looks so crispy

I just made this and it was BOOOOMB. Thanks for the recipe!
