Perro Caliente

Hungry for some lunch, I still had exactly zero hot dog buns in the house. I did, however, have a package of flour tortillas. Every good Mexican* always has a few tortillas on hand. I'm a huge fan of Taco Bell's Beef Mexi-Melt, and thought with a little creativity I could replicate this amazing treat...hot dog style.

Fired up the grill, and split two dogs lengthwise. Charred them up, along with a few bits of a pepper from my garden. Wrapped them up in tortillas with some cheese and voilá...


I decided that the only beverage worthy of accompanying this delightful dish was a frosty can of Bud Light Chelada. This concoction is a mixture of beer, salt, lime and Clamato. Clamato, if you're not familiar with it, is a tangy tomato cocktail made with, and I quote, "dried clam broth". Sounds wrong? It is oh-so-right. You're not a man until you've consumed a beer labeled with a seafood allergen warning.


Hot Dog Count: 3

Dog on ...
