Description

Loaded Tater Tot Nachos are a delicious and indulgent snack or appetizer perfect for game day or casual gatherings. Crispy golden tater tots are topped with melted cheddar cheese, creamy guacamole, tangy sour cream, spicy jalapeno slices, fresh tomatoes, savory bacon, and green onions, creating a perfect combination of textures and flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Base

  • 1 Pound tater tots (frozen)

Cheese & Sauces

  • 1 Cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ½ Cup nacho cheese sauce
  • ¼ Cup guacamole
  • ¼ Cup sour cream

Toppings

  • ½ Cup tomatoes (fresh, diced)
  • 4 or 5 slices bacon (cooked and chopped or crumbled)
  • 2 Tablespoons green onions (chopped)
  • 1 jalapeno (thinly sliced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Spread: Evenly spread the frozen tater tots across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer for uniform cooking.
  3. Bake: Bake the tater tots for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through using tongs to achieve an evenly golden and crispy texture.
  4. Sprinkle: Remove the crispy tater tots from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Broil: Turn on the oven's broiler and broil the tater tots with cheese for 1 to 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Add: Dot the melted cheese with spoonfuls of guacamole, sour cream, and pour the nacho cheese sauce over the top evenly.
  7. Top: Garnish the loaded tots with fresh diced tomatoes, crumbled cooked bacon, chopped green onions, and thinly sliced jalapeno for color and flavor contrast.
  8. Serve: Serve the loaded tater tot nachos immediately while hot and enjoy the melty, crunchy, and flavorful snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the tater tots are spread in a single layer without overlapping.
  • Adjust the jalapeno slices to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon or omit it for a vegetarian version.
  • Serve with extra sour cream or salsa on the side if desired.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
