  • 6 oz Rotisserie Chicken, shredded

  • 4 oz Sour Cream

  6. On a large platter, place the smashed tots around leaving space for you to garnish them and your guests to easily grab them. Place a dollop of beans, then some shredded chicken and a drizzle of the sour cream and hot sauce mixture. Then carefully place some chopped cilantro and minced jalapeño onto each smashed Puff for the final touch and enjoy.
