The pulled pork is seasoned with <a href=https://www.oldelpaso.com/products/taco-seasoning-mix-original-1-oz-packet>Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix</a>, slow-cooked to perfection and then piled on a bed of tots, along with avocado, tomatoes, jalapeño, onion and cilantro. Then it's all drizzled with <a href=https://www.oldelpaso.com/products/zesty-ranch-sauce-9-oz>Old El Paso™ Zesty Ranch Sauce</a>. (Drooling yet?!)

Use leftover pork in tacos or pile on buns with your favorite fixings.

For extra flavor and creaminess, drizzle extra Old El Paso™ Zesty Ranch Sauce on individual servings of totchos.

Add or swap any topping ingredients for your own favorites, like sour cream, sliced green onions or corn.

For best results, bake frozen potatoes in the oven as soon as the pork is done cooking in the Instant Pot®, while the pressure is naturally releasing. This way, the potatoes and the pork will be warm at the same time. You can also prepare the pork in advance, and reheat it before topping the tots.
