Add in the green chilis and the taco seasoning (prepare according to package direction). Cook for a few more minutes.
While the potatoes are baking and the meat is cooking, you can start to prepare the board if you choose to serve these on a board. You can also set this up as a “potato bar.”
Add the toppings to the board, and leave room for the 12 potatoes.
Right before serving, with a sharp knife, cut an X in the top of each fresh, hot baked potato. Fluff the inside of potatoes with a fork.
Top each potato with taco meat, cheese and green onion.
Set the potatoes on the board with the other toppings.
Serve the potatoes with your favorite toppings, like sour cream, guacamole and Cholula Salsa.
Around the board add the chopped tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Serve and enjoy!
Optional to make it in 20 minutes if you microwave the potatoes.
