Hot Dog Tacos

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 8 hot dogs
• 1 tablespoon dry taco seasoning mix
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 8 taco shells, slightly warmed
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1 cup chopped tomato
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Make a lengthwise slit almost through (but not completely through) the hot dogs.

In a small bowl, combine taco seasoning mix and the oil. Spread mixture evenly into slits in hot dogs. Grill them cut side up for 5 to 7 minutes then place each hot dog inside a warmed taco shell.

Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, and serve immediately.

Notes:
Taco seasoning mix is available in the supermarket spice section or in the ethnic foods section. If you have a warming rack on your grill, heat the taco shells on it for just a few minutes. If you don't have one, just place them on the outside edge of your grill's cooking area where the heat isn't too hot.
