Ingredients
- 18 Hot dogs, Beef, chicken, turkey or regular hotdogs are all delicious.
- 18 Flour tortillas, about 5.5-6.5 inches in diameter
- ¾ cup red onion, finely diced
- Salt and pepper
- 4 avocados, pitted, peeled and smashed
- 3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1-2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 cups salsa
- ¾ cup Refried Beans
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 3 cups shredded lettuce
- Frito Corn Chips, or favorite chips
- Avocado Spray, we buy at Costco
Instructions
- COOK THE HOT DOGS: Heat a griddle or grill over medium heat. In a large saucepan, bring 1-2 inches of water to a boil, and add the hot dogs. Boil until heated through, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the hot dogs to the grill and cook to crisp up and get grilling marks. Use tongs to flip over to the other side. Transfer to a large round platter to allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, add the chopped onion with 1 teaspoon of salt and let the salt pull the liquid out of the onions; allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Make the GUAC: Mash the avocado, tomato, lime juice, garlic, and cilantro together in a bowl or a large plate. Stir in the onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Heat up the refried beans.
- MAKE THE TACO DOG: Spread thinly the beans down the center of each tortilla, and spoon 2 Tbsp salsa on top. Next, place the hot dogs over the beans and salsa, then top with sprinkles of cheese and wrap the tortilla around the dogs. Use toothpicks to secure the tortillas. Spray with avocado spray and grill for a few minutes on each side until brown and crisp.
- MAKE THE BOARD: Place the round platter of Taco Dogs (stacked up) in the center of a round board. Around the platter, lay down the finely shredded Iceberg lettuce. Off to the side set a small bowl of salsa (with a small spoon). Around the very outside add Corn Chips (Fritos) on one side, and blue taco chips on the other side.
- Everyone can add their own lettuce and salsa - serve and enjoy!
