Tater Tots

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Bake the Tater Tots

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions, usually for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the hot pepper cheese sauce until it's melted and smooth. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Totchos

    Once the tater tots are finished baking, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the hot pepper cheese sauce over the tater tots, followed by the shredded cheddar-jack cheese.

  4. 4

    Top with Fresh Ingredients

    Spoon the pico de gallo over the cheese-covered tater tots. Drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
