What are totchos?
Totchos are a fun spin on nachos! Instead of using tortilla chips, you load up cooked tater tots with your favorite nacho toppings like pork, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, onions, guacamole, beans, and more!
Who makes the best frozen Tater Tots?
We personally love Alexia’s frozen tater tots and fries! They’re crispy and seasoned just right! You can also use Ore-Ida or a store brand for this recipe though!
What You’ll Need to Make Loaded Tater Tots
You’ll need:
- 2 pounds pork shoulder (or grab your favorite shredded BBQ on the way home)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon BBQ seasoning
- 1 32-ounce bag frozen tater tots
- 1 28-ounce can baked beans
- 2 cups shredded Monterrey jack cheese
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- Salt
- Green onion for garnish
How to Make Loaded Pulled Pork Tater Tot Nachos
- If you’re cooking your own pork, place the pork shoulder in a crockpot with water and seasoning. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Once the meat is cooked through, remove it from pot and shred it with 2 forks.
- Once you have your meat cooked, you’re ready to cook your tater tots! Cook the tots according to the bags directions, and don’t forget to spray the large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Cook until crispy.
- Once your tots are cooked, remove from the oven and spread the meat over the top. Then top with baked beans and shredded cheese and return to the oven to bake for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Before serving, top with BBQ sauce and green onions.
