TACO TATERS

Me and my favorite girl (my daughter) were going to make a different recipe, but came up with this one instead. Kid friendly. You can also make it as a vegetarian meal.

Provided by Tiphane Fleming

Categories     Tacos & Burritos

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lb ground beef (if you're a vegetarian, you can substitute black beans for the ground beef)
2 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 pkg tater tots
8 oz mexican blend shredded cheese
salsa, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Set your oven for 425'. Put the tater tots in a 9x13 casserole dish and put in the oven.
  • 2. Cook your ground beef according to directions Drain and rinse the ground beef ( rinsing the meat makes,it less greasy).
  • 3. Add your taco seasoning to your ground beef along with 1/3 cup of water. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • 4. Once tots are done, pour taco meat over the tots and place cheese over the meat. Place back in the oven for 10 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the tacos will taste.
  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they are firm and hold their shape well. Avoid using waxy potatoes, as they will fall apart when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are easily pierced with a fork. If they are undercooked, they will be difficult to mash.
  • Season the potatoes generously: The potatoes should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, cumin, or oregano, to taste.
  • Use a good quality taco seasoning: The taco seasoning is what will give the tacos their flavor. Choose a seasoning that you like the taste of and that is made with high-quality ingredients.
  • Load up the tacos: The tacos can be loaded up with a variety of toppings, such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. You can also add your favorite taco sauce or salsa.

Conclusion:

Taco taters are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. They are also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
