Ingredients
- Frozen Tater Tots
- Cooked Chicken (shredded or diced)
- Corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- Mayonnaise
- Cotija Cheese
- Lime Juice
- Chili Powder
- Fresh Cilantro
- Jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven according to the package instructions. Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake them until golden and crispy, usually around 25-30 minutes. Midway through, flip them for even cooking.
- Cook the Chicken: If you’re using uncooked chicken, season it and grill or pan-sear until cooked through. For a quicker option, use leftover chicken.
- Prepare the Corn: Grill fresh corn until charred or sauté canned/frozen corn in a skillet.
- Make the Dressing: Mix mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili powder in a small bowl.
- Assemble the Totchos: Layer crispy tater tots with shredded chicken and corn on a large platter.
- Top it Off: Drizzle creamy dressing over the loaded tots. Sprinkle with cheese, cilantro, and jalapeños.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
Serve in a large shallow dish for a communal feel. Garnish with lime wedges and extra chili powder.
