Description

Tex-Mex Hot Dogs are a flavorful twist on the classic American hot dog, featuring spicy toppings like jalapeños, salsa, and creamy avocado for a southwestern flair.


Ingredients

  • 4 beef hot dogs
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
  2. Cook hot dogs for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until heated through and lightly charred.
  3. Warm the hot dog buns on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Place the cooked hot dogs into the buns.
  5. Top each hot dog with shredded cheddar cheese, jalapeños, salsa, avocado slices, red onion, and a dollop of sour cream.
