We’ve gone all Mexican with the hot dogs! This easy family dinner just adds zingy Mexican flavours to a classic hot dog for an easy midweek meal or BBQ. This is an easy family dinner the kids just LOVE!
What do I need to make taco dogs?
Well – I think you can just make these up however you fancy!
Choose what you like and what you know the kids will eat – if you like crusty baguette style bread then grab it – if you want soft brioche hot dog rolls that’s great.
Sometimes I serve taco dogs wrapped in flour tortillas and they’re delicious too.
What toppings to put on taco dogs?
Okay – I absolutely HAVE to to have
But you can mix things up however you like. Try out Mexican hot dog toppings like
- beef chilli
- fresh salad
- salsa verde
- shredded cheese
- soured cream
