Frito Pie Dog

Start by assembly your toppings. Dice the white onion, grate your cheese, and set aside.

When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

Place a small grill-proof saucepan on the grill and add the hot dog chili, allowing the chili to warm as you cook the hot dogs.

Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes turning frequently to brown evenly, until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F on a digital meat thermometer.

To toast your buns, open them and place them face down on the grill, directly over the coals. Watch your buns closely — they burn fast. Toasting takes anywhere from a few seconds to a minute, depending on how hot your coals are.

Remove the hot dogs from the grill and assemble by placing each one into a bun, then topping with corn chips, chili, onions (optional) and shredded cheese.

Serve immediately — and enjoy the crunchy deliciousness!
