Steps

With a fork, prick the potatoes all over. Place in a microwave-safe dish. Cover with vented plastic and microwave 5 min. Using tongs or a fork, carefully turn potatoes over and continue microwaving 5–8 min., until fork-tender.

Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, heat the oil on medium-high. Add the beef and cook 5 min., until browned, breaking up with back of spoon. Stir in the tomato sauce, corn, chili powder, and paprika. Cook 3 min., until beef is cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
