Trashy Taco Truck Pretzel Dogs

Trashy Taco Truck Pretzel Dogs are all beef gourmet hot dogs wrapped in pretzel buns, topped with queso dip, Ranch, guacamole and cilantro. These are perfect for 4th of July, Memorial Day, or any random Sunday afternoon.

The name fits, and when you taste them you’ll agree.

Snake River Farms recently sent me some of their beautiful food; and Kobe Gourmet Hot Dogs happened to be a part of that package. We thoroughly enjoyed them – the quality is impressive. There’s not a lot of things I’m picky about, but when it comes to hot dogs – which let’s be honest here; they’re basically made of pig ass and other things that I probably don’t really want to know about – I like high quality. 

High quality, delicious, trashy mess.

So, you know me.

I don’t do anything “regular ass” – as my husband puts it. When it comes to food, he hates hot and spicy and doesn’t like a lot of condiments or a lot of the craziness that I do (ahem…condiments). He really doesn’t like to eat anything outside of his comfort zone.

I don’t get that, but I do have to give him credit for being a team player as far as my blog and tasting my food. He does it. He may not like it, and sometimes even gives me a dirty look when I’m coming at him with a little napkin, a plate or a forkful of something (which I ignore), and he knows that I know what he’s thinking – “Damnit – here she comes again”. I do have to say, 9 times out of 10 he’ll try it.

Bless his heart. 

These are Kobe gourmet beef hot dogs on homemade pretzel buns topped with warm queso, Jalapeno Ranch dressing, fresh guacamole and cilantro.

If I’m going to make a hot dog, I’m really going to make a hot dog.

I like them whore them up, if you will.

  2. Grill or broil hot dogs until done.
  3. Warm queso in the microwave until hot.
  4. Combine Ranch dressing, jalapenos and jalapeno juice in a small bowl.

    We always say “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth over doing!” these fit the bill beautifully! Who wants a plain old hot dog?

      Thank you, Krista, I agree!

    I like the name (those dogs look outstanding). Next time, how about a naming contest? Did I mention that these dogs look outstanding?

      A naming contest – that would be hysterical. I love it.
