How To Cook Tater Tot Nachos

Cook ground beef in the skillet using taco seasonings.

Set aside beef and tater tots.

Slice Jalapenos into rounds.

Dice tomatoes and red onions.

Then, remove the pit and dice the avocado. Add lime juice on top to avoid browning.

Right before you will serve the Tater Tot Nachos, set the oven to broil at 500 Degrees F.

Add the cooked tater tots into a cast-iron pan or baking sheet that can go in the oven.

Then, add cooked seasoned ground beef on top of the tater tots

Next, add cheddar cheese on top of the ground beef.

Heat the tater tots in the oven for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Add sour cream on top of the tater tot melted cheese.

Serve hot.

While I love the loaded tater tot nachos recipe, there are so many options for toppings. In order to make vegetarian totchos, simply replace the ground beef with beans. If you are looking for a Vegan Tater Tot Nacho recipe, eliminate the cheese and sour cream and load up on the grilled veggies and you have yourself a treat!

Topping Ideas For Tater Totchos

You can also look to adding pulled pork, chicken, or black beans as alternatives for the ground beef.

Additional Questions

Here are some of the questions you might have now that you have started making our loaded tater tot nachos.

How do you make tater tots extra crispy?

In order to make your tater tots extra crispy, you can of course cook them longer than what the package states. Or, if I am looking for them to be extra crispy tater tots, I will spray the top of the tater tots with cooking spray before I put them into the oven.

How do you use air fryer for tater tots?

Air frying tater tots is as simple as throwing them into the air fryer basket at 400 degrees. Spray cooking spray over the top and cook for 15 minutes. Flipping the tots every five minutes helps make sure all sides are crispy.

Are frozen Tater Tots vegan?

Generally, tater tots are vegan. It is important to check the package that you purchase as well as pay attention to the cooking spray you spray onto them.
