Ore-Ida Totchos

When I think about tater tots, I think about Ore-Ida. The quality brand tater tot is all we buy in my household. Recently, I was provided with an opportunity to try Ore-Ida Tater tots for free with the challenge of trying a Totchos recipe. What are totchos, you ask? Well.. only the best thing you've ever tried! Nachos with tater tots instead of chips! I selected a recipe and hustled to the store to grab the key ingredients. Tater Tot Nachos Ingredients: 1 package frozen tater tots (32 oz) 1 lb very lean ground beef 1 packet of taco seasoning 1-2 cups of shredded cheese 1/4 cup sour cream 1/3 cup pico de gallo 1/3 cup sliced blacked olives 2 Tablespoons diced cilantro Directions: 1. Prepare tater tots according to package. 2. While they are baking, cooking your ground beef with a package of taco season, or my homemade taco seasoning, until beef is browned and cooked through. Set aside. 3. Once tots are done cooking, removed from oven (but keep oven on) and top with cooked beef and cheese. Pop back in the oven until cheese is melted. Removed from oven and top with sour cream, pico de gallo, olives and cilantro. My entire family gobbled them up in no time, and this recipe earned a spot on our rotating recipe list!
