Once the beef is browned add the green chiles and then the cheese dip. Thoroughly mix. Turn heat off and begin stuffing potato skins.
  3. <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!
