Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 pieces beef hot dogs
- 1 cup store-bought or homemade chili
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 pieces fresh jalapeños
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
Slice the fresh jalapeños thinly and set a few slices aside for garnish. Mince the remaining slices.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, minced jalapeños, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the jalapeño crema. Set aside.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Melt the butter in the skillet.
Toast the hot dog buns in the butter until golden and slightly crisp, about 1 minute per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet or on the grill, cook the beef hot dogs according to package instructions, rotating occasionally until heated through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Warm the chili in a small saucepan or microwave until hot.
To assemble, place a hot dog inside each bun. Spoon a generous amount of chili over the hot dog.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese and crispy fried onions.
Drizzle each hot dog with the jalapeño crema.
Garnish with the reserved jalapeño slices and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Waco-style hot dogs with a bold Texan flair!
