BBQ Chicken Totchos

BBQ Chicken Totchos


  • Author: Chef Bella
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Description

A delightful twist on traditional nachos featuring crispy tater tots topped with BBQ chicken, melted cheese, and fresh toppings.


Ingredients

  • Frozen tater tots
  • Cooked chicken, shredded
  • BBQ sauce
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Jalapeños, sliced (optional)
  • Sour cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy.
  2. While the tater tots are baking, combine the shredded chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce in a bowl. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated.
  3. Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven. Layer the BBQ chicken mixture over the crispy tots. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top.
  4. Return the loaded totchos to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use sweet potato tots instead of regular tater tots.
  • Swap out chicken for shredded beef or pulled jackfruit for a vegetarian version.
  • Use dairy-free cheese for a vegan alternative.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the totchos in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
