Energize your game day gatherings with this easy, cheesy recipe of crispy tater tots smothered with black beans and melty cheddar cheese, topped with chunky salsa, jalapenos and guacamole.

If you guys want to infuse some serious FUN into your game day gathering, you need to focus on the food, right? For me, the food is more fun than the game, especially when you have this crazy amazing recipe. We’re talking Super Easy Cheesy “Totchos” (Tater Tot Nachos). All I can say is – YES!

From now on, Game Day will no longer be Game Day without cheesy totchos!

What makes it extra special is Fresh Cravings Salsa. Check these out.

I love these salsas. I couldn’t decide which salsa I wanted to use, so I picked up both Fresh Cravings Restaurant Style Salsa and Fresh Cravings Chunky Salsa. They’re both crazy delicious.

What I like about Fresh Cravings Salsa is the bold, authentic flavor. Fresh Cravings Salsa is made with fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes and vegetables and it is not cooked like jarred salsa, nor is it pasteurized like other refrigerated salsas. Truly, this salsa is a game changer.

Open them up, give them a taste. Vibrant. Crisp. Freakin’ YUM!

Just like these Cheesy Totchos.

Fresh Cravings Salsa is right at home on these tochos, giving that extra bold pop of flavor.

Serve these up. Watch them disappear. QUICKLY.

Making Easy Cheesy Game Day Totchos is ridiculously easy. Let’s walk through it, shall we? First thing is to get your ingredients together. Like so.

Next, get those frozen tater tots into an oven-safe pan. I used my cast iron pan here. Like so.

Bake them up per the product instructions until they are nicely golden brown. Mine took about a half hour or so.

Pull them from the oven and spoon the black beans and cheese on top. Like so.

Tough so far, right? Bake the whole thing for 3-5 minutes, just until the cheese is nicely melted and the beans are warmed.

Pop them out of the oven and spoon on the rest of your ingredients. Be generous with the Fresh Cravings Salsa. I used the chunky salsa here.

Sprinkle on a few fresh herbs if you’d like and serve it up! I serve some crema on the side for those who want it, along with Fresh Cravings Restaurant Style Salsa for those craving more salsa. Once they get a taste of it, they will!

Make sure you have extra chips on hand for the rest of the salsa. Great stuff!
