    Big Mac Tater Tot Nachos

    Ingredients and substitutions

    • Tater tots – for a lower carb option feel free to use cauliflower tater tots in this recipe
    • Olive oil – use any neutral oil such as avocado oil, sunflower oil or vegetable oil for this recipe.
    • Ground beef – extra lean ground beef is recommended for that authentic Big Mac taste, but you can use ground turkey or ground chicken for a leaner meat option.
    • Cheddar cheese – use any shredded cheese variety of your choice.
    • Iceberg lettuce – romaine lettuce or a mixed greens lettuce can be used in place of Iceberg lettuce.
    • Tomatoes – plum, heirloom, cherry tomatoes or red vine tomatoes can be used in this recipe.
    • Yellow onion – white onion or red onion also work as substitutions for yellow onion.
    • Pickles – if you’re not a fan of pickles feel free to leave this out

    Special Sauce

    • Mayo – substitute the mayonnaise with a vegan mayo if you need a dairy free alternative or substitute with greek yogurt or sour cream for a healthier alternative.
    • Ketchup – if you’re in a pinch, substitute ketchup with tomato paste mixed with vinegar and sugar or a hot sauce for a tangier finish
    • Onions – use finely diced onions or if you're in a pinch leave them out altogether
    • Relish – use any variety of your liking, or dice up some pickles
    • Vinegar – white vinegar is the best option

    Storing and reheating

    Tater tots always seem to make a dish fun to eat all week long, so you can definitely store leftovers for lunch or dinner! Store in airtight containers in individual servings or altogether. When it's time to reheat, heat the leftovers in the oven until tater tots are crisped and the dish is warm. If you're in a rush to eat, you can also reheat it in the microwave for several minutes, but the tots won't crisp up again the way they would in the oven. Your call!

    Freezing the beef

    If you'd like you can also cook extra ground beef and freeze it ahead of time, go ahead! Just wrap it up and place it in an airtight, freezer safe container. To use the meat either transfer it to the fridge the night before to defrost or remove the ground beef from the freezer, add it to the dish, and follow the recipe as directed.

      For some reason I had ended up with 3 bags of tater tots and so searched Pinterest for tot recipes. I love Big Mac and I had all the ingredients already in my pantry so it looked like kismet. My husband and I loved this recipe and so it’ll go into my repeat box. I used Claussen kosher dill midgets and I think this was the item that really but it over the top!
