Servings: 6 people

Ingredients
Sauce
- ½ cup mayo
- 1 ½ tsp ketchup
- 2 tsp pickle juice garlic pickle juice, not sweet pickle juice
- 2 tsp hot sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Tots
- 1 (800g) bag tater tots
- 1 (540ml) can black beans
- 1 Tbsp taco seasoning
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped finely
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 beefsteak tomato, diced
- guacamole or avocado
- pickled onions
- cilantro
Instructions
- Cook your tater tots according to the directions on the package. Make the whole bag, it will serve 6 people as an appetizer, or fewer people for a meal.
- While your tots are cooking make your sauce, and prep your other ingredients.
- SAUCE: add all the ingredients into a small bowl. Combine well. Taste and adjust to your taste preference.
- BEANS: add the entire can of beans (no need to drain and rinse) to a large pan over medium heat. Add taco seasoning, and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, and then reduce the heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, letting the beans thicken. Stir occasionally so they don't stick. Once they've thickened up and most of the liquid is reduced, you can turn off the heat, but leave the pan on the burner.
- Once your tots are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes.
- Here's how I like to assemble the tots, but you can switch up the order if you want: lettuce first, then tots, then cheese, beans, tomatoes, a few plops of guacamole (or avocado), pickled onions, and then drizzle the sauce on top of everything. Garnish with cilantro (or microgreens).
- Leftovers aren't great, so I enjoy you to eat everything when it's fresh (although leftovers are unlikely).
