Taco Tater Tot Bake

A couple of weeks ago, I came across this recipe for Mexican Tater Tot Casserole in a Facebook group. I pinned it for a future meal. When I realized National Tater Tot Day was the very next week and it happened to fall on “Taco Tuesday”, I knew exactly what to make!

It came out really good, but as usual, I made it with several differences according to my pantry and our tastes. I’m sharing my version of this Taco Tater Tot Bake with you today.
