INGREDIENTS

  • Frozen

    • 1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)

  • Meat

    • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • Spices & Seasonings

    • 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix

  • Dairy

    • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
    • 1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
    • ½ cup sour cream

  • Produce

    • ½ lime, juiced
    • 🍅 1 tomato, chopped
    • ½ cup chopped black olives
    • ½ cup fresh jalapeno pepper slices
    • 🥑 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
    • ¼ cup chopped scallions
    • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread potato nuggets out onto a baking sheet.

2

Bake in the preheated oven until nuggets are golden brown and crisp, 22 to 24 minutes.

3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add water and taco seasoning to beef; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid reduces, about 5 minutes.

4

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange potato nuggets on an oven-proof platter and cover evenly with ground beef; spread Mexican cheese and pepperjack cheese over the top.

5

Cook potato nuggets under the broiler until cheese melts, 1 to 3 minutes.

6

Whisk sour cream and lime juice together in a bowl. Top potato nuggets with tomatoes, black olives, jalapenos, avocado, sour cream mixture, scallions, and cilantro, respectively.
