Add the onions and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes more. Stir in the water, taco seasoning, tomato sauce, and cornstarch and black beans. Simmer on low until thick.
  • Top the potatoes with the cheese and place back in the oven until melted and heated through. Carefully remove from oven and top with beef mixture, sour cream, guacamole, scallions, tomatoes, and cilantro. Enjoy right away!
  • To make the guacamole, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mash until completely incorporated.
