Totchos — in my opinion, better than nachos! Crispy tater crowns loaded with pulled pork, cheese, green chilis, and a tangy sweet-heat sauce. Way over the top in the best way.

Totchos

  • •1 bag (32 oz) tater crowns or tater tots
  • •12 oz Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • •1/2 lb pulled pork
  • •1/2 onion, diced
  • •1 can (4 oz) diced fire-roasted green chilis
  • •Hussey's Heifer Dust
  • •2 Tbsp Duke's Georgia Sweet Heat BBQ sauce
  • •Pickled jalapeños
  • •Green onions (scallions), sliced

Sauce

  • •1/2 cup sour cream
  • •3 Tbsp Duke's Georgia Sweet Heat BBQ sauce
  • •1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • •1 tsp juice from pickled jalapeño jar
  • •1 tsp Hussey's Heifer Dust

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat griddle to med/low or about 350°F. Add a generous amount of oil and put the crowns or tots in the oil. Spread to a single layer and let them ride. Season with Heifer Dust.
  2. 2While the tots cook, make the sauce and taste. Adjust to your liking.
  3. 3Dice the onion and add to the griddle with a little oil. Add Heifer Dust to the onions. Add diced chilis in a separate spot with a little oil. Check the tots and flip when one side is crispy — cook about 5–7 minutes per side. When done, move to one side.
  4. 4Add the cooked pulled pork to the griddle and heat through. Break apart into small pieces if needed. Add some BBQ sauce to the pulled pork.
  5. 5Mix the onions and chilis together. Spread out the tater crowns and top with the onion mixture, then 1/2 to 3/4 of the cheese, then the pulled pork and the rest of the cheese. Put a dome over everything with a little water to melt the cheese.
  6. 6When the cheese is melted, remove to a platter and top with sauce, green onions, and jalapeños. Enjoy!

Hussey's Egg-Griddle Tips

  • ▸Par-cook the tots in an air fryer first to save time on the griddle.
  • ▸Use any leftover smoked meat in place of pulled pork.
