Ingredients
- 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled ground beef (or chicken, or black beans for a vegetarian option)
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup guacamole
- Salsa (optional)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake the tater tots according to the package instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
- While the tots are baking, prepare your toppings. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, seasoning with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer.
- Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large platter or keep them on the baking sheet.
- Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the hot tater tots.
- Add the cooked ground beef (or your protein of choice), diced red onion, and sliced jalapeños on top of the cheese.
- Return the loaded tater tots to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa (optional).
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately for the best crispy experience!
Enjoy your Totchos!
