Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning, about 3 tablespoons
  • 2 cups (518 g) mild chunky salsa
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded, cubed
  • 2 cups (226 g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, divided
  • 1 bag (28 ounces) frozen Tater Tots

Optional Toppings

  • green onions, sliced
  • sour cream
  • salsa

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Set aside a 12-inch oven-safe skillet.
  • In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and taco seasoning until smooth.
  • Stir in salsa until everything is combined.
  • Mix in black beans, chicken, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Stir until everything is coated in the salsa mixture.
  • Spread the mixture evenly into the oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer over the surface. (I used about ¾ of the bag.)
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy. For extra crunch, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching closely.
  • Remove from oven and serve warm with optional toppings like green onions, sour cream, or extra salsa.
