Ingredients

32 ounces frozen tater tots (1 bag)

2 tablespoons taco seasoning (divided)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound 90% lean ground beef

½ white onion (diced)

1 clove garlic (minced)

8 ounces freshly shredded Colby jack cheese

Pico de gallo

Sour cream

Guacamole

Sliced green onions

Chopped fresh cilantro

Diced jalapeño peppers

Directions

Bake

Toss the tater tots with 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning and bake them according to the package directions. Add a few minutes if needed to get them extra crispy. If not at 400°F, turn the oven to 400°F once the tots are done.

Cook

While the tots bake, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the ground beef, onion, garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Cook, breaking the beef up with a spoon, until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is translucent.

Scatter

Once the tots are cooked, scatter the beef mixture over the top.

Bake

Top with shredded cheese and bake until the cheese is melted, about 7-10 minutes.

Top

Remove from the oven and add your desired toppings before serving.
