Delicious BBQ Chicken Tater Tots

These stuffed tater tots are made by filling crispy tater tots with a mixture of shredded BBQ chicken and cheese, then baked until golden and bubbly. Ideal for serving as an appetizer or a main dish, this recipe makes about 4 servings and takes approximately 60 minutes to prepare and cook.
Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cooked BBQ chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
- BBQ sauce for drizzling
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the tater tot package, usually around 425°F (220°C).
- Bake Tater Tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions until crispy, about 20-25 minutes.
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: While the tots are baking, combine the shredded BBQ chicken, diced red onion, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese in a bowl. Mix until well combined and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff the Tots: Once the tater tots are done baking, remove them from the oven. Using a spoon or your fingers, create a small indentation in each tot to make room for the filling. Spoon a generous amount of the BBQ chicken mixture into each tot.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the stuffed tots.
- Bake Again: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, drizzle with extra BBQ sauce if desired, and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
