Equipment
- Large skillet
- 4 8x5 inch personal size casesroles or 1 8x10 casserole dish
Ingredients
- 1 pound gluten-free chorizo or swap in ground beef or turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 4 oz California Ripe sliced black olives drained (and divided)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 6 green onions thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeno peppers optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 32 oz bag frozen gluten-free tater tots
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Sauté the onion and bell pepper until soft, about 5–7 minutes. Add the chorizo, crumble with a spatula and cook the chorizo until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Divide the mixture evenly among four greased 8"x5" casserole dishes.
- Sprinkle half the cheese over each dish, followed by the pickled jalapeno slices, half of the olives and half of the green onions. Then top with a single layer of frozen tater tots. Finish with the remaining cheese.
- Place all four dishes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil (to catch drips!) and bake for 35–40 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
- Let cool slightly, then garnish with chopped green onions, reserved black olives and/or a drizzle of hot sauce—whatever your taste buds are craving.
