Laura's Southwest Tater Tot Hotdish

Submitted by Lauraskitchen

"I developed this recipe because the usual tater tot hotdish didn't have enough pizazz. After a couple of tries I think I've found the perfect combination of ingredients that's pleasing for many different people."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 15mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4-5

ingredients

• 16 ounces of seasoned tater tots
• 16 ounces ground turkey
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

1. Line a 8 x 8 pan with frozen tater tots and let them thaw completely for several hours.
2. Cook the ground turkey in a separate pan and drain off fat.
3. Add soup and fajita seasoning to the cooked turkey. Mix well & set aside.
4. Pour the green enchilada sauce over the thawed tots.
5. Pour black beans on top (as well as liquid in the can) and spread evenly.

7. Add turkey mixture. Top with the remaining cheese.
