White Girl Taquitos




That's right, white girl taquitos. I have an obsession with flour tortillas. No, really. I do. Later on I will post a mid-week dinner favorite of mine (Mac n' Cheese burritos) but today we make Brein's favorite: hot dogs, kraft cheese, tortilla, fried to a crisp perfection.


You'll need:

a pack of hot dogs
Craft Singles Cheese Squares
Flour Tortillas
tooth picks
Vegetable Oil
Salt

So start by placing enough oil in a fry pan to cover the bottom (about 1/4 of an inch high). Turn heat on high. Next cut your tortillas in half and open your cheese. I do this assembly style. Take a half tortilla and place a cheese square in the center. Place the hot dog at one end and roll. I use a tooth pick to keep them tightly rolled until its time to fry. Do this with all your hot dog. By the time you are done your oil should be hot. (To check your oil place 1 small drop of water in the pan, if it flys back out, its hot.) Turn your heat down to medium and place all the dogs tortilla seam side down, removing the tooth pick. Fry on all four sides until golden brown. Remove from the fry pay and place onto a stack of paper towels.

Lightly salt and serve immediately.

  2. My pigs in a blanket are better and so much healthier. The Pillsbury Crescent Roll dough and baking them makes all the difference in the world.

  3. Seamus was a big fan! And um Kern, healthier maybe. Let's have a cook off for the best tasting title.
