For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lime juice to the hotdog and vegetable mixture just before serving. If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before halving them. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Pepper jack or a Oaxaca cheese would be excellent choices. For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef hotdogs with plant-based sausages. To make the hotdogs even more special, consider grilling the hotdogs over charcoal for a smoky flavor before adding them to the skillet.

Follow The Directions
01
StepUsing a sharp knife, create a shallow (about 1/8-inch) lengthwise slit down each hotdog. This helps them cook evenly and absorb the delicious flavors. Set aside.
02
StepIn a 12-inch cast iron skillet, heat the bacon grease over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
03
StepAdd the hot dogs, sliced onions, tomato wedges, halved jalapenos, smashed garlic, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the hotdogs are beautifully browned. (Approximately 10 minutes)
04
StepWhile the hotdogs and vegetables are sautéing, prepare the buns. Heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on the outside of each hotdog bun.
05
StepCook the buns, turning occasionally, until they are lightly toasted and golden brown on all sides. (3-5 minutes)
06
StepDivide the sautéed hotdogs and vegetable mixture evenly among the toasted buns.
07
StepGenerously top each hotdog with the Mexican blend shredded cheese.
08
StepAllow the cheese to melt completely, creating a gooey, irresistible topping. Serve immediately and enjoy!
