Steps:
- Bake the Tater Tots® until very crispy, following the package directions.
- Meanwhile, combine the half-and-half, 1 cup of the cheese, and the cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisking constantly, cook over medium heat until melted and smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the pico de gallo.
- When the Tater Tots are done, transfer them an 8-inch cast-iron skillet. Preheat the broiler to high. Spoon the cheese sauce over the tots and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Broil until the cheese is bubbling and melted, about 1 minute. Top with the cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

- Add the black beans and stir. Continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the veg are tender and golden and the black beans have begun to split and get crispy.
- Top with the grated cheese and return to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
