Sprinkle on some minced cilantro and serve with a few lime wedges for squeezing. Dollop 1/4 cup of guacamole all over the tots, along with your favorite pico de gallo or salsa. When the tots are warmed through and the cheese is melted, drizzle the lime crema all over. Meanwhile, mix together 1/3 cup of sour cream and 2 tbsp of lime juice. The residual heat will melt the cheese in about 5-10 minutes. Place back in the oven and cut the heat off. Top with about 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/3 cup of frozen corn kernels, and 1/3 cup of drained and rinsed canned black beans. But for the sake of this amazing mashup, let’s add some nacho toppings! To begin, push the cooked tots closely together to form one big bed. If seasoned well, the tots are amazing on their own and can be eaten with any dipping sauce you prefer. Cook for a shorter or longer amount of time, depending on your personal preference and oven. Make sure these are in a single layer and bake at 425 for 28-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Shake the sheet pan to make sure the tots are evenly coated with oil and seasoning. They goal is to have a “taco seasoned” tot that is great with or without any topping! Skip the salt if the tots are pre-seasoned. Next, sprinkle on 2 tsp of ground cumin, 1½ tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1½ tsp salt. Take about 2/3 of a bag of tots (around 20 oz) and scatter them on the sheet pan, careful to not overcrowd the pan so the tots do not steam. To begin, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (this will be key later if you want to transfer this dish to a serving platter. They are, after all, the foundation of this whole dish, and every layer in any dish should pack flavor. The key is not only to get peak crispness out of the mini hash browns, but to also pack them with flavor. And trust me, there is such a thing as a bad tot. The base of this dish, as simple as it probably seems, is dependent on a great tot.
