Buffalo Chicken Tachos

Have you heard of “Tachos”? Essentially, they’re nachos, but tater tots in place of tortilla chips. I’ve seen them popping up more and more lately, and I have been tempted to create my own version.

This bacon buffalo chicken version is game day comfort food at its finest.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Sometimes my diet is a victim of my creations. But you only live once, right?

Ingredients

  • 1 (32-ounce) bag frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups shredded chicken (I just used all white meat from one rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • ½ cup Challenge Butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup blue cheese dressing (can be replaced with ranch or omitted completely)
  • 5 slices bacon, chopped
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 6 green onions, chopped (add more or less depending on taste preference)

Directions

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with nonstick spray.
  • 2
    Spread entire bag of tater tots on baking sheet in single layer and cook for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • 3
    While tater tots are cooking, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, butter, and garlic powder.
  • 4
    Remove tater tots from oven and place in cast iron skillet, casserole dish or pie dish.
  • 5
    Cover with shredded chicken and cheddar cheese. Place back in oven until cheese is melted, or about 5 minutes.
  • 6
    Remove from oven and top with blue cheese dressing, bacon, blue cheese crumbles and green onion.
