Totchos Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tater Tots

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the jumbo tater tots on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    While the tater tots are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Serrano Peppers

    Finely chop the serrano peppers, discarding the seeds if you prefer less heat.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Totchos

    Once the tater tots are baked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the chopped serrano peppers, crumbled bacon, and both cheddar and pepper jack cheeses evenly over the top.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions and a generous dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.
