Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups queso cheese sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup cooked ground beef or chorizo
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
  2. Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil and arrange tater tots in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
  3. Cook tater tots for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and extra crispy.
  4. Transfer cooked tots to an oven-safe serving dish or leave in air fryer-safe pan.
  5. Top the crispy tots with cooked meat, then drizzle generously with warm queso cheese sauce.
  6. Add diced tomatoes and jalapeño slices on top.
  7. Return to air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F just to warm the toppings.
  8. Remove and garnish with dollops of sour cream, green onions, and fresh cilantro before serving immediately.
