Expert Tips

  • For spicy chicken Tater Tots™ nachos, opt for Old El Paso™ Shredded 3-Pepper Cheese Blend instead of the Old El Paso™ Shredded Mexican 4-Cheese Blend.
  • We tested this chicken totchos recipe using deli rotisserie chicken, but any leftover cooked chicken or turkey will work well.
  • To avoid losing any of those tasty toppings, arrange potatoes closely together before adding the cheese and chicken mixture.
