Deconstructed Beef Totchos are Tater Tot nachos dismantled into its component parts -- we've got saucy beef and black beans, sweet potato puffs, and all your favorite nacho toppings. This meal is made on one sheet pan with less than 10 ingredients!
PREP: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray an extra-large (15x21-inch) sheet pan (or 2 smaller ones) with nonstick spray. Add both bags of tots to the sprayed pan. Space evenly on pan and bake for 10 minutes.
BEEF: Meanwhile, open the beef and add all the beef (and liquids) in an 8x8-inch pan. Add drained and rinsed black beans and 1/3 cup of the drained tomatoes on top. Mix, break apart beef (with a wooden spoon) and spread in an even layer. Once the potatoes have baked for 10 minutes, flip them with a spatula and then make room to nestle the beef-filled pan on the sheet pan. Bake for 10 more minutes. Remove, toss potato puffs around again and then sprinkle cheese evenly on the beef mixture. Return to the oven and bake for 5-7 more minutes or until cheese is melted, beef is fully warmed through, and tots are tender.
SERVE: Serve by spooning potato puffs out on plates with cheesy beans and beef on the side and add toppings of choice (we love sour cream and guacamole or a diced ripe avocado). If desired, drizzle some lime on everything and enjoy immediately.
