Cajun Queso Tachos

Finely dice the hot link sausage.

Using a kitchen torch or broiler, char the jalapeño, scallions, and poblano pepper on all sides.

Place the charred vegetables in a bowl and cover to let them steam for a few minutes. This will make them easier to chop.

Once steamed, finely chop the charred vegetables.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced sausage and cook until the fat has rendered.

Add the chopped charred vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes.

Pour in the evaporated milk, then add the cubed processed cheese.

Whisk constantly over low-medium heat until the cheese is completely melted and the queso is smooth and creamy.

While the queso cooks, prepare the tater tots according to package instructions, using an air fryer for best results.

Once cooked, place the crispy tater tots in a large serving bowl or skillet.

Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the hot tater tots.

Pour the warm Cajun queso generously over the tots.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.
