Mexican Tater Tot Casserole

 

Tater tots are slowly becoming a staple in my household. They are good for breakfast, they make a yummy dinner and are delicious as a snack. With so many ways to use tater tots I find them good to have on hand.

This tater tot casserole use some Mexican flavors to make a delicious dinner. It even has a vegetable included to make it an all in one dinner. But if you are like me and trying to get more veggies in your diet this would be delicious with a side salad.
