Cheesy Hot Dog Taquitos

Eating heathier isn’t always easy when you have kids. With their picky eating, it can be hard to find something on the heathier side that they are willing to eat. Enter in the cheesy hot dog taquitos.

This are basically pigs in a blanket. However, instead of thick carb loaded dough to wrap those hot dogs in, you use hearty corn tortillas.

These do include cheese. If you want to reduce the carlories in this, you can omit the cheese in your taquitos, but I would include it in the ones for the kiddos.

I tried to make these with American cheese slices. However, the cheese ennded up mostly on the outside of the taquitos. Instead, use cheddar cheese to keep this cheese inside the taquitos.

I always like to use a good all beef hot dog when I am going to eat a hot dog. These are delicious. Serve then with ketchup for dipping too.

These cheesy hot dog taquitos bake in the oven. However, you can make these in an air fryer. I have included instructions in the recipe notes on how to do so if you want to.
