Totchos.
Or Tater Tot Nachos.
Either way, Totchos are the ultimate comfort food. Best served warmed with friends while you’re watching the big game or Netflix & Chilling. I’ve made some pretty tasty totchos in the past: Chicken Shawarma, Sweet Potato, and Brussels sprouts!
BUT! Today’s version is dare I say….EPIC! These Thai Chicken Totchos are packed with some serious flavor and are so delicious. I say we dive in and make these!
What’s in these Thai ChickenTotchos?
When it comes to making totchos you must have two things: a golden, crunchy vessel and cheese! Everythingelse is up to you! However, these Thai Chicken Totchos have some serious flavor, but don’t require a lot of ingredients. In this recipe you’ll find:
Chicken thighs
Chile garlic sauce
Ginger
Red thai chili paste
Tater Tots
Shredded Mozzarella
Green Onions
Pretty straight forward, huh?
Tips for Making these Thai Chicken Totchos:
1) Par-Bake your or Cook your Tater Tots fully. By cooking your tater tots for about 10 to 15 minutes or cooking fully before you add the toppings, you will prevent the tater tots from getting soggy. Nobody wants soggy tater tots!
2) Thai chicken. If you can marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutesprior to sauteingin the skillet it will help increase the flavor!
3) Tater tots. Any brand you can find at the grocery store will work! Oryou can always make them homemade too!
Can I make these Thai ChickenTotchos in advance?
Yep! You can definitely have thechicken cooked and ready to go. All you would have to do is assemble thetotchos and bake.
How do you reheat Totchos?
Great question! The best way to reheat totchos is by placing them on a baking sheet and then under the broiler for a few minutes. In the microwavethey can become too soggy.
Can I make these Gluten-Free?
Heck yes! There are so many different flavors of tater tots on the market. If you want a more veggie forward you could certainly sub in cauliflower tater tots!
