Ingredients

  • 32 oz frozen tater tots (one standard sized bag)
  • 2 small avocados
  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 jalapeño
  • hot sauce (optional)

Cheese sauce

  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (plus equal parts water)
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Cook the tater tots according to the instructions on the bag.
  • Chop the tomatoes, onions, and avocados. Slice the jalapeños into thin slices.
  • Mix the cornstarch with equal parts cold water to make a cornstarch slurry. Heat the heavy cream over medium heat then add the cornstarch slurry and salt. Continue to heat the cream and cornstarch until the sauce thickens.
  • After the sauce thickens, take the cream off of the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. After the cream base has cooled, add the shredded cheese and mix until the cheese fully melts.
  • Top the tater tots with the vegetables, sour cream, and cheese sauce then serve.
