Method

Scrambled Eggs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a bowl, crack the cage-free eggs and whisk them until well blended. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula until they begin to set. Sprinkle in the cheddar jack cheese and continue cooking until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.

Smashed Tots

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tater Tots

    Preheat your oven according to package instructions for the tater tots. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  2. 4

    Season and Bake

    Drizzle the olive oil over the tater tots. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Bake in the oven until golden and crispy, following package timings (typically around 20-25 minutes). Remove from the oven.

  3. 5

    Smash the Tots

    Once baked, use a fork or spatula to gently smash the tater tots, ensuring they retain some texture.

Meat Choice

  1. 6

    Cook the Bacon or Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, cook the sausage links according to package instructions until browned and cooked through.

Green Sauce

  1. 7

    Make the Green Sauce

    In a blender, combine the fresh cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Totcos

  1. 8

    Assemble Your Totcos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Layer the scrambled eggs, smashed tots, and your choice of bacon or sausage onto each tortilla. Drizzle with green sauce and top with mixed fresh fruit on the side.
