Loaded Tater Tot Nachos are a fun and delicious twist on traditional nachos, replacing tortilla chips with crispy baked tater tots. This recipe is topped with a melty blend of cheddar cheese, seasoned chicken, black beans, fresh veggies, and creamy avocado, perfect for a satisfying snack or meal that’s quick to prepare and easy to customize.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots

Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (optional)
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • ½ cup sliced black olives
  • 1 avocado, diced or sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tater tots: Preheat your oven according to the package instructions, typically 425°F (220°C). Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  2. Add toppings and cheese: Once the tater tots are crispy, remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the tots. Add cooked and shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, red onions, jalapeños, and black olives on top of the cheese to layer the flavors.
  3. Melt the cheese: Return the loaded tater tots to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted and the toppings are warmed through.
  4. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and top with diced or sliced avocado, dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over for a fresh, tangy finish.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add more beans or vegetables as toppings.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter, healthier alternative.
  • If you prefer extra heat, add more jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the tots crispy and the cheese gooey and melted.
