Instructions

• Place the 32 ounces frozen tater tots (one bag) into the crock of a large slow cooker.
• Sprinkle the tater tots with 1 Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Packet and toss gently in the crock until the tots are evenly coated.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or on HIGH for 2–3 hours.
• Every hour, lift the lid and stir the tots gently so pieces from the top move to the bottom and all tots get some time against the heated surface.
• When the tater tots are hot and slightly crispy to your liking, switch the slow cooker to the WARM setting.
• If using chopped chicken or taco meat, add it to the slow cooker now so it warms through.
• Sprinkle low-fat shredded cheese over the tots in the crock and replace the lid for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
• Add any additional toppings you like from the ingredient list—black beans, salsa, low-fat sour cream, scallions, cilantro, avocado, guacamole, and/or red onion—either spread over the tots in the slow cooker or serve on the side for guests to add themselves.
• Serve the tater tots warm directly from the slow cooker.
