Freedom Totchos
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Arrange the potato nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Bake in the preheated oven until the nuggets are golden brown and crisp, 22 to 24 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add water and taco seasoning to the beef; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid reduces, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange the potato nuggets on an oven-proof platter and cover evenly with the ground beef; sprinkle the Mexican cheese and pepperjack cheese over the top.

  5. 5

    Broil the potato nuggets until the cheese melts, 1 to 3 minutes. Whisk the sour cream and lime juice together in a bowl. Top the potato nuggets with tomatoes, black olives, jalapenos, avocado, the sour cream mixture, scallions, and cilantro, in that order.
