Totchos
Okay, so I know today is the 6th of May. Still, who doesn’t love more Mexican-themed dishes with tons of options for yummy toppings! Also, this totchos recipe is unbelievably easy. It would be a great dish to make for a game-day party, I know it’s unfashionable out in California but in our household we’ve got an SEC countdown going (War Eagle!). It doesn’t take too much time so if you are looking for a snacky dish that is warm, this is a great one to make.
Tot·chos [n.] = part tater tot, part nacho. A deliciously crunchy, salty, cheesy snack.
Basically, you are making nachos, hold the chips, add tater tots!
