Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
1 pound lean ground beef
¾ cup water
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
½ cup sour cream
½ lime, juiced
1 tomato, chopped
½ cup chopped black olives
½ cup fresh jalapeno pepper slices
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
¼ cup chopped scallions
¼ cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread potato nuggets out onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until nuggets are golden brown and crisp, 22 to 24 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add water and taco seasoning to beef; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid reduces, about 5 minutes.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange potato nuggets on an oven-proof platter and cover evenly with ground beef; spread Mexican cheese and pepperjack cheese over the top.
  • Cook potato nuggets under the broiler until cheese melts, 1 to 3 minutes. Whisk sour cream and lime juice together in a bowl. Top potato nuggets with tomatoes, black olives, jalapenos, avocado, sour cream mixture, scallions, and cilantro, respectively.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but mine turned out really dry. Maybe I didn't use enough cheese?

I'll definitely be making these again. They're a great way to use up leftover tater tots.

These were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

Not a fan. The tater tots were too greasy and the cheese was too thick.

I thought these were just okay. The tater tots were a little soggy and the cheese wasn't very flavorful.

These were easy to make and really tasty. I added some black beans and corn to mine and they were a hit.

I'm not a huge tater tot fan, but these were actually really good. The cheese and toppings really made them.

These were delicious! I used cheddar and pepper jack cheese and they were perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these for my kids and they loved them! They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

I've made these totchos twice now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The tater tots get nice and crispy in the oven and the cheese is gooey and melted. Yum!
