Hot Dog Quesadillas

Stephanie Gallagher
These fun quesadillas take the technique and basic ingredients of quesadillas in a different direction by giving them an all-American twist: Using hot dogs and beans in the filling. The result is a unique quesadillas recipe the kids will adore!

Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 hot dogs
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup canned chili beans in mild sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend

Preparation:

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  2. Slice hot dogs into 1/2-inch slivers (about 10 equal pieces). Add to skillet and saute until hot dogs are golden brown on both sides. Remove to a dish. Set aside.

  3. Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in skillet over medium heat.

  4. While the oil is getting warm, assemble the quesadillas: Place 1-2 tablespoons of beans on half of each quesadilla. Top with about 10 hot dog slices (the equivalent of one hot dog), 1 teaspoon of ketchup and about 1/3 cup of cheese. Fold over.

  5. Transfer quesadillas to skillet, one at a time. Cook until browned on one side, flip, and cook until browned on the other side and cheese is fully melted.

Makes 4 servings.
