  2. Can I make Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Bowls gluten-free?

Additionally, check the buffalo sauce for any gluten-containing ingredients. Most brands offer gluten-free options, so you can enjoy this delicious meal without worry.

  3. What are some good substitutions for ingredients in Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Bowls?

    If you want to customize your Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Bowls, you can substitute the lean ground chicken with ground turkey or shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker option. For a vegetarian version, try using plant-based ground meat or chickpeas. Instead of Greek yogurt, you can use sour cream or a dairy-free yogurt alternative.

    To store leftover Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Bowls, let them cool to room temperature, then transfer them to an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

  5. What can I serve with Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Bowls for a complete meal?

    Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Bowls are quite filling on their own, but you can serve them with a side salad for added freshness.

Enjoying them with a cold beverage like a light beer or sparkling water can also complement the spicy flavors!
