March Madness has officially begun! Go to any online news source and you can get live updates right now. Which is great if you are one of the many fans involved in bracket challenges. But regardless of whether you filled out your bracket and have a stake in the game, it is certainly fun to watch if you are a basketball fan. You’ve got to have some game food for fuel as you watch it go down. You can win the crowd with this Loaded Totchos recipe for game day!

While regular nachos might seem like typical fare, totchos take things up a notch! I chose this fun potato rounds instead of traditional tortilla chips to try something new and I thought they resembled little basketballs. My husband couldn’t get enough of these!

I headed to my local Walmart to load up on all my ingredients including Rosarita Traditional Refried Beans in the Mexican food aisle and Ro*Tel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies near the canned diced tomatoes.

I recommend putting your potato rounds in the oven and getting started right away on the preparing the other ingredients.

Nothing beats Ro*Tel® Famous Queso Dip on any game day so I prepared that as my base layer.  The original Ro*Tel is made with a signature blend of vine-ripened tomatoes and zesty green chilies and a savory mixture of secret spices so only two ingredients are necessary.

You’ll only need to half the recipe which means only a 1/2 a can of Ro*Tel. Don’t waste the rest of the can! You can make a 1/2 batch of the Ro*Tel guacamole recipe found on the back of the can like I did, or you can make extra queso dip to serve with tortilla chips.  Simply putting the extra Ro*Tel as a topping for your totchos is also an option.

Rosarita Traditional Refried Beans are authentic and delicious. They can quickly be heated in the microwave in only three minutes. I wanted some meat to make my totchos heartier, so I added 1/2 pound of taco meat. This is a great opportunity to use some leftovers or make a batch and enjoy the rest later. Leftover shredded chicken would also be tasty!

I loaded these totchos with all kinds of toppings but you can definitely change the recipe up to suite your family. Black olives, shredded cheese and jalapenos would also be great on these totchos!

Grab a plate and dig in!
