This dish looks like a hot mess but it tastes phenomenal. This recipe was my brain child from to being low on groceries and wanting to use up what’s in my fridge. I’ve also been wanting to make tater tot waffles ever since I saw them on Pinterest. I never make breakfast for dinner but I need to do this more often. This took 15-20 minutes to make. Make whatever variation you’d like of it and let me know how it turns out!
Ingredients
Bag of frozen tater tots
One large red pepper, diced
One small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
Cheddar Cheese
Cilantro to garnish
Scoop of guacamole (mine is avocado, lime, diced red onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, ancho chile powder, salt, pepper, cholula)
Refried black beans (just rinse a can of black beans and mash over a teaspoon of ghee/butter, add a few tablespoons of water so it doesn’t dry out and let cook over low heat while you do everything else)
What To Do
The order of these steps may not be exact. Use your judgement. There are lot of little moving parts.
Make the refried black beans.
Saute onion, red pepper in olive oil for 5-10 minutes or until soft and add the garlic in the last minute of cooking.
Heat the waffle iron. Place 9-12 frozen tater tots in each waffle square depending on your iron. Don’t be afraid to cram those suckers together. Close the iron as far as it will go but don’t force it down. After about 5 minutes you’ll be able to close it all the way. Cook them for about 10 minutes total (you can check them and take them out depending on your preference).
Meanwhile cook 2 eggs over medium heat in a pan. I cook mine over easy.
Plate everything - tater tot waffle first, veggies next, egg, top with cheddar cheese and cilantro and serve with refried beans and guac on the side. Enjoy!
