Tachos (Loaded Tater Tots)

Tachos (Loaded Tater Tots)

Tachos (loaded tater tots) can be your main dish, a snack, or an appetizer! Loaded Tachos (or tot nachos) are a variation of nachos that features crispy potato tots in place of tortilla chips for the base.

Why Tachos Are So Good

1. Flavor Explosion

Tachos offer a flavor explosion that combines the best of both worlds. You will enjoy the crispiness of the tater tots and the heartiness of tacos. The combination of textures and taste is simply irresistible.
2. Customizable
One of the great things about tachos is that they’re highly customizable. You can tailor them to your liking by making them as spicy, cheesy, or meaty as you want.
3. Perfect for Sharing
Tachos are a fantastic option for gatherings, parties, and game nights. They’re easy to share, and everyone can create their own customized portion.

Tachos will let your imagination run wild. You can use ingredients like seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, black beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, jalapeños, and, of course, lots of melted cheese. Customize your tachos to suit your taste.

How to make Tachos (Loaded Tater Tots)

2. Meanwhile, place a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Add ground beef to the skillet. Brown the ground beef, use a spatula to break up the meat as it cooks. If necessary, drain any fat from the pan. Add taco seasoning and combine with beef, then follow the seasoning package directions for preparing taco meat. Next, warm the nacho cheese sauce (follow heating directions on the container).

Ingredients that Make a Difference

  • Whole Wheat Flour: Unlike refined flour, whole wheat flour is rich in fiber and nutrients. It keeps you full and satisfied for longer and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels.
  • Blueberries: These little blue gems are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They add a burst of flavor and a nutritional punch to your muffins.
  • Honey: Honey is a natural sweetener that’s better for you than refined sugar. It gives your muffins that sweetness you crave without the sugar crash.
  • White Chocolate Chips: White chocolate chips are a delightful addition to these muffins, adding a touch of sweetness that balances the tanginess of the blueberries.
  • Lemon: Lemons are little yellow powerhouses of tangy goodness. They are nature’s secret ingredient for adding a burst of flavor to almost anything. Plus, they’re packed with vitamin C.
  • Apple sauce: This sweet and slightly tangy puree not only adds moisture to your recipes but also reduces the need for excessive amounts of butter or oil.

Ingredients

How to make Healthier White Chocolate and Blueberry Muffins:

  1. First preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line your muffin pan with cupcake liners (or baking cups) in 7 spots. Fill the rest of the muffin holes with a small amount of water.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 teaspoon of flour. Set aside. Next, in a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the apple sauce, oil, honey, milk, egg, lemon zest and juice, and vanilla extract.
  3. Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Only stir until there are no streaks of flour left. The muffin batter will be very thick. Gently fold in the blueberries and white chocolate chips.

  4. Finally, fill 7 muffin cups with the batter and bake at 375 degrees until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 17 to 22 minutes. Let cool blueberry chocolate muffins in the pan for several minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
