1
Prepare the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.
2
Slice the Jalapeños
Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapeños. Slice them into thin rings or small pieces, depending on your preference.

3
Make the Buffalo Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the hot sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

4
Bake the Tater Tots
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

5
Combine Tots and Toppings
Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the buffalo sauce over the tots, then sprinkle with chopped bacon, cotija cheese, and sliced jalapeños. Toss gently to combine.
