our crispy tater tots topped with our homemade chili, shredded cheese, scallions, sour cream & pickled jalapenos

Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots. Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes.

Prepare the Tater Tots

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Add kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 15 minutes until thickened.

Make the Chili

Once the tater tots are crispy and the chili is ready, remove them from the oven. Top the tater tots with a generous portion of the chili, followed by shredded cheddar cheese, chopped scallions, a dollop of sour cream, and pickled jalapenos to taste.
