Mexican Frankfurters Recipes

MEXICAN HOT DOGS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mash avocado with a fork, stirring in lime juice, salt and pepper. Grill hot dogs, covered, over medium heat until heated through, 7-9 minutes, turning occasionally., Serve in buns. Top with avocado mixture, tomato, onion and bacon.

MEXICAN HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Tightly wrap each hot dog with a strip of bacon until most of the hot dog is covered. Transfer hot dogs to an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. If using jalapeños, place them skin-side down on a separate aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and lightly drizzle with oil. Roast jalapeños until skin starts to blister, about 25 minutes. Roast hot dogs until bacon is browned and starts to ripple, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the yellow onion and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown and shrinks by half, about 10 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season to taste with salt. Remove from heat when onions are caramelized and peppers are soft, about 20 minutes.
• Make the pico de gallo with avocado: Combine tomatoes, avocado, red onion, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
• Toast buns, if desired. Blot excess oil from the hot dogs with a paper towel and transfer to buns. Top with onions, peppers and pico de gallo. Drizzle with ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. Finish with roasted jalapeños, if desired.

HOMEMADE FRANKFURTERS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, mix well and stuff into sheep casings (pork casings will work too, but will end up a little fatter frank).
• Smoke for 2-3 hours at 115 deg or until a rich orange color is reached (you can freeze them at this point, until you want to boil them).
• Then cook in water heated to 160-170 until franks float.
• Cooking time depends on thickness of the hot dog.
• You can simply just grill them as well.
• Again, the yield depends on how long and thick your links are.

FRANKFURTERS

Steps:

• 1. Cut a gash in the side of each frankfurter. Spread prepared mustard inside; add a strip of cheese and push the frankfurter back in shape. Wrap a strip of bacon around it. Fasten with a toothpick. Grill until cheese melts and bacon is crisp.
• 2. Cut gashes in the frankfurters and spread the inside with garlic butter to which you have added chopped chives and parsley. Wrap with bacon strips and grill.
• 3. Mash blue cheese with a little grated onion and blend in chopped chives and parsley. Gash the frankfurters and stuff them with this mixture. Wrap with bacon strips and grill.
• 4. Cut frankfurters in 1-inch pieces. Alternate these on skewers with tiny whole tomatoes and strips of green pepper. Grill. Serve with a good hot Mexican chili.

• Spread the heated beans on a warm tortilla.
• Place a frankfurter on top.

CREAMY PASTA WITH FRANKFURTERS

Steps:

• Heat a pot of water on a medium to high heat - Once at the simmer add the salt and oil - bring to the boil and add the pasta - Stir frequently to prevent sticking
• While the pasta cooks prepare your ingredients for the sauce - everything goes in pretty quick so pre prepared is best.
• Heat the oil in a non stick pan over a medium heat.
• Add the Garlic and Onion and cook for 1 minute
• Add the Frankfurter and Chirizo and fry until the Chirizo starts to release an orange coloured oil
• Add the chilli, basil (if using) and the black pepper. Add half the cream and half the parmesan - reduce to thicken
• Once it has thickened repeat with the remaining cream and cheese and reduce again
• Drain the pasta once cooked and add the sauce mixture - stir until all the pasta is coated and serve with a pinch of pepper and parmesan over the top
