Frito Dogs Recipe

Updated on October 4th, 2023

These Frito hot dogs are perfect for outdoor grilling during the summer and fall months. This recipe is simple; the hot dogs are first grilled and then topped with chili, shredded cheese, crushed Frito chips, and pickled sliced jalapeno peppers. For the hot dogs, I would recommend using either all beef hot dogs or even better, the natural casing hot dogs. You can either use canned chili or you can make your own homemade chili to go on these delicious hot dogs. If you want to experiment with different types of cheeses, some good options would be cheddar or pepper jack. I personally decided to use Monterey Jack and was pleased with the results. This is a perfect recipe for parties or for game day. Enjoy.
