I recently had the opportunity to attend theToy Story Land media day. One of my favorite things to do when I go to any of the Disney parks is to try new food. At Toy Story Land, I ate at Woody’s Lunchbox, and while everything was delicious, my absolute favorite dish was the Totchos. Seriously, the Toy Story Land Totchos were simple but delicious! As soon as I tried them, I knew I was going to have to try to do my own version of them at home.
Toy Story Land Totchos
One of my favorite things to do is to try new foods when we go places. If i find something that I absolutely love, it is guaranteed that I will try to replicate the recipe at home. Sometimes my copycat recipes turn out amazing, others…..not so much! Thankfully, my copycat Toy Story Land Totchos turned out perfect! A little different than what you would get at the park, but an wasy crowd pleaser for sure! Bonus points for it being super inexpensive to make as well!
Totchos Copycat Recipe
Seriously, this was so easy to make! My kids loved it, I loved it… It would be perfect for a party food, as well as an easy and inexpensive weeknight meal. If you want to replicate what I did, head to the store and pick up the following Totchos Essentials.
- Frozen Tater Tots
- Chili – You can use a can or make your own. I usedleftover Chili from dinner another night to make this even more of an economical meal option!
- Corn Chips
- Shredded Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Jalapenos ( Optional)
Feel free to use any toppings you want for yours. I just used the sour cream and some jalapeno, but next time I think I will throw in some diced red onions and maybe some scallions as well.
Toy Story Land Totchos Copycat Recipe
First, cook the tater tots according to the directions on the bag… But subtract about 10 minutes from the cook time. For example, my tater tots were supposed to cook for 22 minutes so I put them in for 12 minutes.
Once the tater tot timer has gone off, remove them from the oven. This is when you will pour on your chili. My chili was right of of the refrigerator at this point. So if you are working with an already hot chili, then you may want to adjust this cook time. After I had the chili on, I made a layer of corn chips, and then topped it with the shredded cheese! I used about a whole bag of shredded cheese and about half of a bag of corn chips.
Then place your pan back in the oven for the remaining 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven, let them cool, and enjoy!
These Toy Story Land inspired Totchos were so easy to make, so inexpensive, and my whole family loved them. We did end up with leftovers that my husband took to work with him for lunch and he informed me they were just as good reheated the next day!

Thanks for Totchos Copycat Recipe! I have little exposure on Mexican so may be this is great chance to start! Glad that there are plenty of cheese used.
Thank you for sharing of these tips. I seriously love this kind of food. I love the name of the food and love the usage of more cheese makes my work a little easier. It also looks delicious, but I think I might improvise something here and there.
As much as I’m not the type who tries out new food whenever I’m visiting new places since I once ate something so unpleasant, I’ don’t think I’d ignore these totchos. Just as the name sounds sweet, so does it look like. It definitely is,right?
Oh my goodness!! I need to make this! My kids would go mental over it and it seems so simple.
My boys would love all this delicious gooey cheese. I think I might just have to make this for them.
Oh yes, I wanted to try this at Disney World when I heard about them. I’ll have to make them myself and see how they turn out!
Ooh! That sounds delicious! And I see you also have a recipe for coconut shrimp… I’m getting hungry!
