There are all kinds of twists on a good old taco. There is navajo tacos, flat bread tacos, taco pizza, and taco soup. Well, today I have another twist for you – tater tot tacos – the ingredients of a taco serve over tater tots instead of in a tortilla. The family loved it of course. This dish reminded me of eating a taco with “mexi fries” at Taco Time.

I pride myself on coming up with ways to use tator tots, and I can’t believe I never thought to just pile on the taco ingredients! So clever. Thanks for the recipe!
thank you SO much! I can’t have corn because I’m nursing my toddler and hes allergic. Normally making taco’s means me making gluten free/corn free flour tortillas but now I can enjoy them easily! I like organic hash brown rounds. Kroger has them.
We had these last night and they were so amazing! Definitely a new favorite recipe
I’m hoping to share them on my blog soon, I’ve already raved to all my friends about how good they are! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
That looks very tasty. And it seems pretty quick and easy to make. Great kid food!
Holy cow…. this will be on the menu for next week’s taco night. I know it will be a hit- and who doesn’t love being called the “best mom ever” at dinertime! Thanks Laura!
We are a huge fan of tacos and I think this will be a wonderful and fun change of pace, plus who doesn’t love tater tots..lol
