Disney just shared its recipe for tater tot nachos

There are two types of people in this world: those who choose French fries and those who, when given the choice, will pick tater tots every time. If you’re Team Tots, has Disney got the recipe for you.

Disney’s been keeping us going with a steady stream of decadent recipes from their theme parks and resorts lately, including fan favorites like Dole Whip and churro bites. This time, they’ve really outdone themselves with a recipe from Woody’s Lunch Box at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World: Totchos.

So what are Totchos? The name sounds simple enough, but there’s a lot going on here. A base of crispy, golden-brown tater tots gets topped with chili, queso, shredded cheese, sour cream and green onions for a seriously indulgent dish. You could serve these along side this delicious three-cheese grilled cheese, another recipe Disney shared from Woody’s Lunch Box, the popular quick-service restaurant in Toy Story Land at Disney World. But Totchos are definitely hearty enough to make a meal of on their own.

The recipe includes directions to make your own chili from scratch, but you could definitely shave a bit off the prep time by using pre-made or canned chili. You could also substitute a meatless chili to make this dish vegetarian!

Here’s how to make Totchos at home:
