Ingredients

6 hot dogs cooked
12 - 6 ” flour tortillas
1 cup Tex-Mex shredded cheese
½ cup queso or cheese sauce
Crema or sour cream garnish
Green onion stalk diced for garnish

Instructions

Cook the hot dogs as desired.
Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
Heat to medium-high heat.
Place a tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle with 2-3 Tbsp cheese.
Lay another tortilla over the first and cook for a minute until the cheese begins to melt.
Place a hot dog in the center and top with 2 Tbsp queso.
Wrap tortilla around the hot dog and flip seam side down, so that the edges are pressed onto the skillet, and cook for another minute.
Serve with crema and green onion.

Notes

To get the best results with this simple recipe, use quality ingredients, like all-beef hot dogs.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the hot dogs are cooked thoroughly.

If you can't find the mini tortillas, cut large ones in half. Then use half of the tortilla for each layer.

Don’t skip the cheese layer between tortillas—it’s the glue that holds this delicious creation together.

For a low-carb twist, swap in low-carb tortillas and load them up with veggies like bell peppers or red onion.

Keep an eye on your cooking time—these go from golden to overdone fast.

Leftover hot dogs may be cooled and stored in an airtight container for up to one week in the fridge. You can microwave hot dogs to reheat them later.
