🥘 Ingredients
Base
  • 20 oz frozen tater tots
Topping
  • 1 cup prepared chili (canned or homemade)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp)
Garnish
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp pickled jalapenos (optional)
📝 Instructions
  1. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 400°F. Add tater tots to basket in single layer. Shared 💡 Single layer ensures every tot gets crispy.
  2. Cook tots at 400°F for 12 minutes, shaking halfway, until crispy and golden. Top Oven 💡 Shaking at 6 minutes prevents sticking.
  3. Transfer crispy tots to an oven-safe dish. Spoon warm chili over the top, then cover with shredded cheese. Shared 💡 Layer chili first, then cheese for the best melt.
  4. Return to air fryer at 370°F for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Top Oven 💡 Bubbling cheese means it is hot through.
  5. Top with sour cream, green onions, jalapenos, and hot sauce. Serve immediately. Shared 💡 Serve in the dish for maximum cheese-pull presentation.
💡 Ninja Tips

Do not overcrowd the basket — crispy tots need space. For extra crunch, cook tots 2 minutes longer before adding toppings.

Scaling: Double: Two batches. Half: 10 oz tots; halve toppings.
