Ingredients

  • 1 (32-ounce) bag frozen tater tots
  • 1/2 pound fresh chorizo or turkey sausage
  • 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained
  • 3 tablespoons salsa verde
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 12 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup banana pepper slices
  • 1 jalapeƱo, sliced
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 1/3 cup sliced chives
  • 1 medium avocado, cubed
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  2. In an ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking dish, place the tater tots and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.  
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo. Cook, breaking it into crumbles, until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess grease. Place the cooked chorizo onto a plate and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet over medium heat, add the tomatoes, salsa verde, paprika and 8 ounces of cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and everything is blended. Pour this mixture over the cooked tater tots.
  5. Sprinkle the tater tot mixture with chorizo, black beans and remaining cheese. Bake at 425 F for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and top with banana pepper slices, jalapeño, cilantro and chives. Add the avocado and tomato.
  7. Scoop out and serve with sour cream.
