Game Day Totchos (Tater Tot Nachos)

Tater tot nachos = game day totchos! We love nachos and we think they make the perfect food to feed a crowd.

We combined some of our favorite nacho toppings with crispy tater tots and these “TOTCHOS” were born.

Unlike chips, tater tots don’t get soggy, so you get a perfectly crunchy bite every time.

Ingredient Notes

• Tater tots
• Cheddar cheese
• Queso blanco
• Pico de gallo
• Crumbled bacon
• Green onions

How to make Game Day Totchos

1. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread tater tots on an even layer, then bake according to package directions.
2. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cheddar cheese and drizzle Queso Blanco over top.

3. Sprinkle Pico de Gallo, bacon, and green onions on top.
4. Return to the oven for 3-4 minutes, until cheese is melted and warm.

Storing and Other Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The best way to reheat these is in the air fryer or oven.

This recipe follows the “baking directions” for tater tots. You can fry your tater tots for an even bigger crunch (just skip the first baking part and follow the frying directions).

Can you use homemade queso on these Game Day Totchos?

Yes! You can definitely use homemade queso (we love this queso blanco recipe).

This is the kind of queso we used for this recipe, but any kind will do (it doesn’t need to be queso blanco, either).

The easy cheesy totchos can be customized according to your preferences, making them a great way to cater to a diverse crowd. Ground turkey, lean ground beef, rotisserie chicken, or even a vegan substitute can serve as the protein base for your totchos.
