Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 piece jalapeños (pickled or fresh), sliced
- 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for grilling)
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. If using a grill, brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning frequently until they are evenly browned and heated through. If a grill is unavailable, you can also cook the hot dogs in a skillet over medium heat.
While the hot dogs are cooking, lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Once the hot dogs and buns are ready, assemble the Nacho Dogs: Place one hot dog in each bun.
Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese over each hot dog. If you prefer melted cheese, place the assembled hot dogs under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
Top each hot dog with sliced jalapeños, crushed tortilla chips, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
Garnish with chopped green onions for an extra pop of flavor and color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, nacho-inspired hot dogs!
