Mexican tater tot hotdish is a spicy twist on a classic comfort food. Oh, did I mention it’s smothered in cheese?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n


I’ve made this and froze it for my lunches at work.  While you loose the crispiness of the tater-tots and that nice fresh-baked cheese glow, it is one of my favorites for the workplace lunchtime and is an easy one to grab the jealous attention of your coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy!  (or should I say ole!)<\/p>\n\n\n
