For both kids and adults alike, these summertime nacho dogs are a bound to be a hit! You can make your nacho cheese dog exactly how you like it, piling it high with all your favorite toppings! From salsa to guac or extra crunchy tortilla chips, this nacho dog recipe has the perfect combination of flavors and textures.
Ingredients You Need
Hot Dogs – Or Polish sausages. For a lean meat version, use turkey dogs! Hot Dog Buns Tortilla Chips – You can use regular tortilla chips or blue corn tortilla chips! Mexican Cheese Blend Fresh Salsa – Use your favorite store-bought salsa or make a homemade version! Guacamole – When it comes to guacamole, fresh guac is definitely best. Sour Cream – Or crema Mexicana, also known as table cream. Cilantro – Fresh cilantro is the perfect garnish!
How to Make The Best Nacho Dog
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the hot dogs in the buns and place them on a baking sheet. Pile 1/2 cup crumbled chips on top of each hot dog, followed by a heaping 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Bake for 5-8 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the hot dogs are warmed through. Buns will be golden brown and warm! Top each dog with salsa, guacamole, crema Mexicana or sour cream, and cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy!

Recipe Variations
Toppings: The toppings on your nacho dog are really up to you. If you are serving a crowd, maybe set out some extra topping options like diced red onion, jalapeno peppers, diced plum tomatoes, ripe hass avocados, or nacho cheese sauce! I also like to serve these with a lime wedge to brighten things up a little! Spice Level: Take things up a notch on the spice level with pickled or fresh jalapeño peppers, or serve with some hot sauce! Vegetarian Version: Make a vegetarian nacho dog with veggie-based hot dogs or sausages, or replace the hot dog with beans or grilled vegetables.
