Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked. Add in the chopped onion and taco seasoning, following the instructions on the seasoning packet. Stir well and cook until the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat, and keep the beef mixture warm.

While the beef is cooking, prepare the tater tots according to the package directions, opting for deep frying for that extra crispiness. Once done, drain on paper towels.
3
In a small pot, heat the Ortega refried beans over medium heat until thoroughly warmed, stirring occasionally.
4
To assemble the nachos, spread the crispy tater tots evenly on a large serving platter. Layer the seasoned ground beef on top, followed by spoonfuls of the hot refried beans. Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, allowing it to melt slightly.

Next, add a hearty layer of chopped lettuce and evenly sprinkle the diced tomatoes and green onions on top for a fresh crunch.
