Remove from oven and allow to cool. While the potatoes are baking make the chili cheeseburger stuffing. - <Making the green chile cheeseburger mixture:
Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the oil to the pan with the ground beef and onion and spices, turning and breaking up the meat with a spatula as you go (about 6-8 minutes). Once the beef is browned add the green chiles and then the cheese dip. Thoroughly mix. Turn heat off and begin stuffing potato skins. - <Stuffing the potato skins:Spoon a small amount of the beef mixture into each of the potato skins packing down gently. Sprinkle with shredded Colby-Jack cheese and broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly brown. Remove from the oven and add garnishes. Enjoy!
