  • 1 packet Taco seasoning 1 oz. packet
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste
  • 1 can Green chiles 4 oz. can
  • 1 can Black beans 15 oz. can, Drained and Rinsed

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large, oven-safe nonstick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add ground beef, garlic, onions and saute for a few minutes until meat is browned.
  • Remove from heat and drain grease.
  • Add taco seasoning, salt, pepper, green chiles, black, beans, corn, red enchilada sauce and mix until combined.
  • Also, mix in half the Mexican cheese blend.
  • At this point, if you were using an oven-safe skillet or pan, top off the beef mixture with tater-tots. Spread them in a single even layer. If you were not using an oven-safe pan or skillet, transfer beef mixture to a greased casserole dish (Dimensions: 9x13). Arrange tater tots on top in an even layer. You may end up with some leftover tater tots.
  • Bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until tater tots are crispy.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining cheese.
  • Bake uncovered again for 2-3 minutes until cheese is fully melted. Enjoy!
