Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly. Poke several holes in each potato using a fork. Rub them with olive oil and season with salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45 minutes or until tender.
While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces.
Drain any excess fat from the meat, then add the taco seasoning along with a bit of water. Stir until well combined and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
While the meat is cooking, prepare your toppings by dicing tomatoes, chopping lettuce, slicing olives, and green onions.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
Spoon the seasoned meat mixture generously onto each potato half.
Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top each potato with sour cream, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, black olives, and chopped green onions.
