Tater Tot Taco Salad

Tater Tot Taco Salad has everything a regular Taco Salad has only with Tater Tots added. Who would have ever thought potato in a Taco Salad would taste this good! I topped mine off with taco sauce.

Cook the tater tots according
to the package directions.

In a large skillet over medium heat,
cook the ground beef and onion
until no pink remains.

Remove any grease
then salt and pepper.

Add the taco seasoning and
mix into the ground beef.

Spray a 4 quart casserole
dish with cooking oil.

Add the tater tots to the baking dish.
Using a wooden spoon, break
up the tater tots.

Add the ground beef and mix
with the broken up tater tots.

Place the tomatoes on top.

Sprinkle the cheese on the top.

Bake uncovered in a preheated
400º oven for 20 minutes.

Add lettuce to a plate,
place taco meat on top.

Drizzle with taco sauce, top with
sour cream or whatever your
favorite topping is.

wow, my grandies would love this!
It was so good Beth. With the tater tots it tasted like a breakfast burrito. Thank you❤️
This looks like a crowd pleaser Diane
Thank you Sheree, you know me and my leftovers. Lol
😎
That looks so delicious! Never thought of including tater tots in tacos before. Yum yum!
The tater tots broken up made it so good, thank you!

Thank you Mitzy💕
Love this!
Thank you Christy 💕
Sounds like a yummy casserole. Add some scrambled eggs and it’d be great in a breakfast burrito 🙂
Definitely, thank you 💕
WP has been messing up for me with me having to log in over and over and not keep me logged in. So don’t know if my other comment came in or not.
This recipe sounds yummy. It would be good in a breakfast burrito with added scrambled eggs, too. 🙂
Thank you Katelon! I j had trouble with my recipe card too, making my post a day late. Chatted with WP and they had it fixed in 5 minutes, but it was so frustrating.
I’m so glad to see this and to know I’m not the only one having this repeated log in problem. I’ve tried leaving two comments. We’ll see if this one gets through!
It did but I’m still having issues.
Not just on your blog. This is happening for me everywhere. A WP issue for sure. :/
I don’t know what is the issue. I have reinstalled/updated my browser several times, thinking it might be the issue. I used to be able to open a blog post and “like” and comment and with a click, it would post. I stayed logged in at all times per choice. Now I have to fill out my email, name and website and then log in, over and over and over, even after repeatedly clicking “remember me”. So I have no idea what is going on. It seems like it must be some WP issue.
What a pain!
Samesies! All of the above, Katelon. Definitely a WP issue then.
Like this idea of combining tater tots with a taco salad. I enjoy them both separately, and definitely am intrigued by teaming them up.
Reminds me of a breakfast burrito flavor but with lettuce, we loved it. Thank you so much! 🥰
This definitely looks like a keeper! Thanks, Diane.
You have to try this one Janet. The added potatoes was a game changer. You’re welcome! 💕
Tater tots! Tacos! Tasty!! 😋
Thank you Nancy! 🥰
Sounds yummy! I might be tempted to wrap this in a tortilla and make a burrito out of it.
Right and add some egg and you have a breakfast burrito. I love them too! Thank you💕
Tater tots are God’s favorite side dish, you know. And now you showed Him how versatile they are!
I better be careful, He may want me to make them for Him all the time. 😳
I never would have thought of adding tater tots to a taco salad, but it’s not so farfetched when you think about how many breakfast burritos have potatoes. It looks delicious!
It’s funny because you don’t really eat the tater tots whole, they get broken up into small crumb like pieces and mix into the meat for the best flavor. Thank you 🥰
Oh my – the best of all worlds. Taco salad and tater tots. A perfect union. 🙂
I agree Linda and it tasted delicious. I rarely eat tater tots because they are fried then frozen, but for some reason when you add them to the ground meat it was so good. Thank you Linda💕
Sounds delicious … I’ve mostly only had them with eggs, dipping them in yolks.
Strange, when I click on your link to the taco salad it goes to my What’s For Dinner post.
We have never bought tater tots – ever! I think I saw it in one of our more exclusive shops once … but after checking out your recipe, I should maybe buy a packet, because your plate of Tater Tot Taco Salad looks delicious!
Awe thank you, you are always so kind! I hope you get a chance to try this as it tasted amazing.
You’re welcome and thank you!❤️
