For an extra layer of flavor, try brushing the inside of the hot dog buns with melted butter or garlic butter before air frying. Feel free to customize your toppings! Shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, or a drizzle of hot sauce would all be delicious additions. If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the taco dogs in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until the buns are toasted and the hot dogs are heated through. Use high-quality hot dogs for the best flavor and texture. All-beef hot dogs are recommended.
