Have you heard? Tater tots are the new tortilla chips. Here, they’re piled high with chorizo, scallions, sour cream, salsa verde and two types of cheese.

These cuties are ideal for game day since they’re a cinch to serve to a crowd. (Individual portions = no sharing or huddling around a single plate required.)

Might we suggest crowning this mountain of deliciousness with shredded rotisserie chicken or turkey? Then it’s basically an entire meal on a single platter.

Aka deconstructed nachos. Serving all the fixings (like ground beef, salsa, cheese and jalapeños) in a skillet means your guests can adjust the toppings-to-chips ratio to their preference with every bite.

If you haven’t yet had the pleasure, chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican breakfast dish that calls for simmering tortilla chips in salsa.

Protein-rich pinto beans and creamy guacamole keep this app filling sans meat.

Because everyone can get behind a runny yolk (not to mention avocado, hot sauce and cotija cheese).

Fried wonton crisps take over for tortilla chips, while bulgogi stands in for typical ground beef. But the best part of this recipe is no doubt the kimchi-white cheddar cheese sauce.

Use the leftover beer-braised pork (if there is any, that is) for burritos, tacos, rice bowls and sandwiches.

Move over, sour cream—there’s a new tangy finishing touch in town.

Want to keep the nachos crispy for the entirety of the party? Serve the guac, pico and sour cream alongside the chips instead of plopping them on top.

Since they’re drenched in homemade enchilada and cheese sauces, no one will suspect you started with store-bought roasted chicken.

Pan-fried tilapia is just the match for sweet-and-spicy mango slaw. (P.S.: Using blue corn tortilla chips makes this dish look a million times fancier.)
