TOPPING IDEAS FOR TATER TOTCHOS
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!
You can also look to adding pulled pork or chicken as alternatives for the ground beef..
