I used to work at Pontiac motors. There was this Mexican man that would sell these every morning. They were to die for. Here is how I make them. Never as good as his! Pan fry a good hotdog. We use Koegels. Warm up canned refried beans, sear flour tortillas. Put beans on the tortilla, wrap up the grilled hotdog. Now comes the sauce. Puree up some jalapenos add one habanero. This sauce should be as hot as you can handle it. They are worth trying! Jeff

Cool! I'd probably sub in some Hatch for the "hellapeenies" as some call them here in Texas.

Made two and put half a string cheese stick down first, then the fried, halved hot doggie, then the frijoles, wrapped in seared flour tortilla then added Hatch chile salsa. Very good. Surprisingly good.

Ah, the variation of things that can be done with the legendary tube steak.

None of this sounds Mexican!

I don't know how I got Mexican tacos in the heading. It should have been Mexican hot dogs.

Well that makes more sense!

Bucky's gas station has a hot dog on a stick wrapped in a tortilla that is amazing.

Ty, those dogs look fabulous. So does the carne asada. Do you have a favorite?

One of the things that wasn't quite "Mexican" that we used to do on the border when I was growing up, we called burritos, although they aren't.

You take a large flour tortilla and put stuff in the middle. Usually, taco meat and refried beans mixed up and hot. Put whatever peppers or salsa in there you want. You fold the ends so there are no leaks out the ends and roll it up. Then deep fry in a basket in hot oil. Not traditional but awesome.

Lavaca, you just described our traditional chimichanga.

It can be served plain with side condiments like salsa, sour cream, guacamole etc

or, enchilada style covered with sauce.

I've never seen a hotdog chimichanga, but a chilidog chimi sounds like a marketing dream for the Spring Training crowd here in Arizona! Somebody should look into that...lol

Bill, alas, my Primary Care Physician says no more tube steak for me.

Thank God the carne asada is still on the menu though!

Ty,

A Coney Island Chimichanga with a hotdog, chili, onions, cheese and a few jalepenos sounds awesome.

I think we might be on to something here

I may have to buy a deep fryer to try our new invention.

Ty, there are some leaner, nitrite-free alternatives to the traditional tube steak that you might sneak past your physician when he is not looking.

Lol Bill, Shhhhhhh! He's a member here.

When we go to Argentina we usually find a park early in the evening and grab a choripan and a beer from a vendor. https://www.grillseeker.com/au...tic-choripan-recipe/

Here in north Texas I do the next best thing, take my feral hogs to Kuby's, have them made into Chipotle / Monterey Jack, or Jalapeno / Cheddar sausage, buy some steak sandwich buns, get a beer and go out in the back yard.

There is no tortilla involved.
