We all love loaded nachos, but have you ever had loaded totchos?
This is my version of the massively popular loaded totchos from Disney World.
Crispy hash brown bites (also known as tater tots or potato barrels) topped with my quick Tex-Mex chilli, lots of cheese, sour cream, spring onions (scallions) and finished off with lightly crushed tortilla chips.
I could eat this every single day.

Ingredients:
Quick chilli:
1 tbsp oil
500 g (1.1 lb) minced beef (10-15% fat)
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 onion peeled and finely diced
1 red bell pepper deseeded and finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper deseeded and finely diced
3 cloves minced garlic peeled and minced
3 tbsp Fajita seasoning mix
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 beef stock cube crumbled
2 tbsp hot pepper sauce I use Franks hot sauce
2 tbsp tomato puree (paste in USA)
400 g (14 oz) jar passata
400 g (14 oz) tin black beans drained
1 tsp light brown sugar
120 ml (1/2 cup) water
Also:
700 g (1.5lb) hash brown bites (or potato barrels/tater tots in USA) - see notes
100 g (1 packed cup) grated mixed cheese (I use a mixture of cheddar and red Leicester)
4 tbsp sour cream
30 g (1 oz) plain tortilla chips, lightly crushed
3 spring onions scallions, roughly sliced
Instructions
1. Cook the hash brown bites in the oven or air fryer as per the pack instructions (this is usually about 20-22 minutes in the oven or 15 minutes in the air fryer).
2. While the hash brown bites are cooking, make the chilli. Add the oil to a frying pan (skillet) over a med-high heat.
3. Add the minced beef, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes until the beef is browned breaking up any large bits as you cook the beef.
4. Add the onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and garlic and fry for a further 5 minutes, stirring often.
5. Add the fajita seasoning, smoked paprika, beef stock cube, hot sauce, and tomato puree and cook for another 2 minutes stirring continuously.
6. Add the passata, black beans, sugar, and water. Stir everything together, bring to a simmer, turn down the heat and cook for 5-10 minutes stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
5. By now the hash brown bites should be ready. Divide the hash brown bites between 4 bowls. Top with the chilli.
6. Sprinkle on the cheese, add a tablespoon of sour cream to each bowl, then sprinkle on the tortilla chips and spring onions and serve.
Notes
Where to find barrel-style hash brown bites in the UK:
Freezer section of Sainsburys (Sainsbury's own version)
Freezer section of Tesco for the Birds eye version.
Morrisons do a smaller mini-hash brown bites version in the freezer section.
You can also find cheesy hash brown bites (which will work fine) in the freezer section of Iceland and Morrisons.
Can I make it ahead?
You can make the chilli ahead! Make the dish, but don’t add the cheese, hash brown bites or other toppings. Once cooked, cool quickly, cover and refrigerate for up to two days. Cook the hash brown bites in the oven or air fryer as per the packet instructions, then, reheat the chilli in a pan or the microwave until piping hot throughout. Add over the hash brown bites, and add the other toppings.
Can I freeze it?
Yes, you can freeze the chilli and the hash brown bites come frozen in a bag! You just need to make the chilli as per the instructions but DON’T add any of the topping or the hash brown bites yet. Once cooked, cool, then split into portions if necessary, cover and freeze. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat in a pan or the microwave until piping hot throughout. Meanwhile, cook the hash brown bites in the oven or air fryer as per the packet instructions, then top with the heated chilli, and add the other fixings.
