Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer. Cook according to package directions, minus 5 minutes. (The kind I used suggested 22-25 minutes for a whole bag, or 18-22 minutes for a half bag.)

Step 3

Remove tots from oven. Top with cheese and place back in the oven for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground beef and some more cheese and place back in the oven for 3-4 minutes, until warmed through and the cheese is gooey.

Step 5

While the tots are cooking, prepare any toppings you would like to add to the totchos.

Step 6

Remove from the oven. Cover with your favorite toppings. I used jalapeños, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole and fresh cilantro.
