Fiesta Tater Tot Casserole

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Fiesta Tater Tot Casserole). We invented this recipe one night after one of us wanted Tater Tot® casserole for supper, while the other wanted Mexican...It's SUPER easy and SUPER yummy! Baking the Tater Tots® before layering may be unnecessary but we wanted to make sure they had a chance to crisp up. The whole family LOVED this dish! Hope you do too!
