Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 Hot dogs
1 Can of chili
1 – 2 cups Cheddar cheese (to taste)
8 Flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Start by placing one hot dog in the center of each flour tortilla. This forms the base for your Chimi Chili Dogs.

  2. Add Chili: Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of chili over each hot dog, ensuring that itโ€™s evenly distributed for a rich flavor in every bite.

  3. Cheese It Up: Sprinkle 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the chili, adjusting the amount according to your preference for cheesiness.

  4. Fold the Tortilla: Begin by folding the bottom of the tortilla up over the hot dog. Next, fold in the sides to secure the filling, and then roll up the tortilla tightly from the bottom.

  5. Secure the Chimi Chili Dog: Place the rolled Chimi Chili Dog seam side down on a clean surface. This will help keep everything together during the cooking process.

  6. Chill or Freeze: Wrap each Chimi Chili Dog tightly in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours if you plan to cook them fresh. Alternatively, you can freeze them at this stage for later use.

  7. Heat the Oil: When youโ€™re ready to cook, heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  8. Fry the Chimi Chili Dogs: Carefully place each Chimi Chili Dog seam side down into the hot oil. Fry them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  9. Serving Frozen: If using frozen Chimi Chili Dogs, thaw them first before frying, or for a quick alternative, you can heat them in the microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes.

  10. Enjoy: Serve your delicious Chimi Chili Dogs hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauces or toppings!
