A great recipe to prepare for football season is hot dog tacos. These tacos are tortilla shells stuffed with cheese, a hot dog, guacamole and salsa. The guacamole gets a lot of flavor from avocado, lime juice, onion and garlic. If you want to save time you can use premade guacamole purchased from the store. You can cook these tacos either using an indoor grill pan or an outdoor grill. I used an outdoor grill. You can also simply add the hot dogs and cheese to the tacos and use the guacamole and salsa for dipping if preferred. Enjoy.
