Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups tortilla chips
- 0.25 cup jalapeño slices
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup ketchup (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the tortilla chips in a zip-top bag and crush them into small pieces. Set aside.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Toast the hot dog buns by placing them cut-side down into the skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the hot dogs over medium heat until heated through and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally.
Place the toasted buns on a baking sheet. Put a hot dog in each bun.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each hot dog, ensuring it covers the hot dog and touches the bun.
Top each hot dog with a layer of crushed tortilla chips, pressing gently to help them stick to the cheese.
Bake the hot dogs in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the hot dogs from the oven and add the toppings: diced tomatoes, red onions, jalapeño slices, and chopped cilantro (distribute evenly across the hot dogs).
Drizzle sour cream and, if desired, ketchup over the top of the hot dogs for extra flavor.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Crunchy Nacho Dogs!
