Totchos recipe

Totchos are what is created when you bring tater tots and nachos together. These patches are tater tots that are baked in the oven and topped with taco meat and cheese. What I like about this recipe is how easy it is to prepare. Totchos are a perfect appetizer to serve at parties. You can top these tater tot nachos with just about anything that goes good on tacos. Some good options would be salsa, sour cream, lettuce, and tomato. Enjoy.

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare
   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Bake the tater tots
   Spread the frozen tater tots in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake according to package directions, usually 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
3. Cook the taco meat
   While the tots bake, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain excess grease if needed. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
4. Assemble the totchos
   Remove the tater tots from the oven and evenly spoon the taco meat over the top. Sprinkle the Mexican cheese blend evenly over everything.
5. Melt the cheese
   Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
6. Serve
   Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Add optional toppings like salsa, sour cream, lettuce, or tomato if desired.
