Bake the Tots: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a muffin pan with olive oil, then place 5 frozen tater tots into each cup. Lightly spray the tots with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Form the Cups: Once baked, use a small measuring cup or muddler to gently press and mold the tater tots around each muffin cup to form little potato “cups.”
Cook the Steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the Steak-umm slices for about 2 minutes per side, or until browned. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Once cooked, chop the steak into small pieces.
Assemble the Cups: Fill each potato cup with 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese, a sprinkle of Colby Jack cheese, and chopped steak.
Bake Again: Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
