Notes
Tips
- Cutting the Dogs: Cut about ¾ through the hot dogs to create a pocket for the cheese, while leaving them intact.
- Tortillas: Corn tortillas give these dogs the best flavor and most crunch.
- Testing the Oil: Dip the handle of a wooden spoon into your oil. It's hot enough if you get continuous bubbles around it.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: The oil needs to remain as hot as possible for even frying, so fry your tortilla dogs in batches.
