Welcome to Meals with Marca. Today we're making pulled pork loaded tater tots.

Start with leftover pulled pork, either from the refrigerator or thawed from the freezer.

For the tater tots, you can cook them in an air fryer at 450°F for 30 minutes for extra crispiness, or in the oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes.

Once the tater tots are cooked, transfer them to a bowl lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the tater tots.

Put the tater tots back in the air fryer for 2 minutes to melt the cheese.

In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Add the thawed pulled pork to the skillet and pour in your favorite barbecue sauce, like Sweet Baby Ray's.

Heat the pulled pork until it is steaming, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine with the barbecue sauce.

Transfer the tater tots to a serving tray, then layer the pulled pork on top of the tater tots.

Drizzle sour cream over the pulled pork and add toppings like jalapeños and black olives as desired.

Serve immediately and enjoy your loaded pulled pork tater tots.
