Ingredients
-
2-pound bag frozen tater tots
-
1 pound ground beef (93% lean)
-
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
-
1 ounce packet taco seasoning
-
1/8 cup water
-
1 cup nacho cheese
-
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced (use any tomato you prefer)
-
1-2 fresh jalapeños, sliced (or use pickled jalapeños)
-
2 Tablespoons cilantro (optional, can also use parsley)
-
1/2 cup sour cream (for topping or on the side for serving)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bake the tater tots: Spread the frozen tater tots on a parchment paper-lined (or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray) baking sheet. Bake according to the instructions on the package until crispy.
-
Cook the beef: While the tater tots are baking, heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced yellow onion. Cook and crumble the beef for 7 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
-
Season the beef: Add the taco seasoning and ⅛ cup water to the beef mixture. Stir for 2-3 minutes.
-
Assemble the Tachos: Once the tater tots are crispy, remove them from the oven and pile them onto a serving dish. Top with the seasoned taco meat.
-
Add toppings: Layer with nacho cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and cilantro.
-
Serve: Serve with a side of sour cream or add on top for an extra creamy finish. Enjoy!
Notes
-
You can use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
-
For extra heat, add more jalapeños or use spicy nacho cheese.
-
Tachos are best enjoyed fresh and hot out of the oven.
