Ingredients

  • 1 pack of frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (30 oz) like Tater Tots®,
  • Chopped rotisserie chicken breasts (½ lb),
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese (1 cup),
  • Salsa (½ cup),
  • Ranch dressing (¼ cup),
  • Buffalo wing sauce (1 tbsp or more, to preference),
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper (to taste),
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (1 tbsp or to taste).

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to a toasty 370 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for a quick 2 minutes to get it all fired up.

Step 2

Next, pop in those delightful potato nuggets and let them dance in the air fryer until they turn golden and crispy, remembering to give the basket a gentle shake every now and then. This should take around 12 minutes, but if your air fryer is on the smaller side, consider cooking them in batches to ensure each piece gets its moment in the spotlight.

Step 3

Once those nuggets are ready to shine, plate them up and get creative with your toppings. Add a generous helping of juicy chicken, gooey Cheddar cheese, and zesty salsa to each plate, making sure each bite is a burst of flavor.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the creamy ranch and spicy buffalo sauce until they become the perfect saucy duo. Drizzle this delectable concoction over your totchos for an extra kick of flavor. To finish off this masterpiece, sprinkle some fiery cayenne pepper and fresh cilantro on top for a pop of color and freshness.
