Taco Tater Tot Bake Recipe

American-Mexican · Main course · 50 min total

A fun and easy weeknight dinner combining all the flavors of tacos with crispy tater tots, baked together in a cheesy, savory casserole.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
3. Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
4. Stir in black beans, diced tomatoes, and corn. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
5. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the top.
6. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese, covering the surface as much as possible.
7. Bake for 25 minutes, until tater tots are golden and crispy. Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese over the tots.
8. Return to oven and bake for 5-10 more minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Let stand for 5 minutes. Top with sour cream, green onions, and black olives before serving.

Tips

• For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or use hot taco seasoning.
• Serve with salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce on the side.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
