Tex-Mex Potato Skins

So I decided that I wanted something completely different for supper tonight. So I saw on foodnetwork.com some ideas for potato skins. Out of all the options, I found the Tex-Mex ones. However, I was not thrilled with the recipe that was given, so I decided to make my own and found that it was really good. It passed the "Mike test", which is where my husband thinks it is good and would have it again. So, it is now an added recipe to my book.

Serving Size: 2

Ingredients:


3 Medium sized potatoes
1 c. Re-fried Beans
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Garlic powder
1/4 tsp. Mrs. Dash Salt-free Extra Spicy Seasoning Blend
 Sour cream or Tofutti sour cream (which is vegan)
Salsa
Shredded Cheese or Shredded Veggie cheese (which is vegan)
5-6 Pickled jalapeno pieces (for decoration)
Olive Oil


Method:

1) For a quick baked potatoes, poke 3 medium sized potatoes and put in microwave for about 7 minutes. If you prefer to cook them in the oven it usually cooks for 1 hour.

2) After potatoes come out of the microwave carefully scoop out potato centers into a glass dish. Mash the potatoes and add re-fried beans.

3) Add spices and mix the ingredients well. Put in microwave for an additional minute.

4) Take potato skins and rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in pan on high heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and place 3 skins on each plate.

5) Fill each skin with the re-fried bean mix. Be careful not to fill it to much.

6) Top each skin with cheese, sour cream and salsa. Then add a jalapeno piece on top for decoration.

Serve and enjoy.
