Instructions
Bake the tater tots at the heat called for in the package instructions with ONE IMPORTANT CAVEAT. Bake them long enough that they're crispy whether or not it's the amount of time specified on the back of the package. When the tots are crispy, scatter half of the grated cheese, followed by all of the chorizo, then the remaining half of the cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and a little browned in places on the pan. Remove the pan from the oven and evenly distribute the green onions, cilantro or parsley, and diced bell peppers. Serve hot!
If desired, divide the Totchos Supreme between bowls and top servings with a dollop of sour cream and a bit of Smoked Paprika Chipotle Sauce.
