Ingredients

• 4 beef hot dogs
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 hot dog buns, split and toasted
• 1 cup prepared guacamole
• 1 cup crumbled Tropical Queso Fresco Mexicano
• Chipotle Crema (recipe below)
• Diced red onions, optional
• Freír Fries (recipe below)

Freir Fries:

• 10 oz. Tropical Queso de Freír
• Vegetable oil for frying

Chipotle Crema:

• ½ cup Tropical Crema Mexicana
• 2 tablespoons canned chipotle peppers in adobo, minced

Preparation

1. Cut each hot dog in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through; open in center to lay flat. In a 12-inch skillet, over medium-high heat in hot oil, place hot dogs flat-side down; cook until lightly browned on both sides, turning once.
2. Place hot dogs in warm toasted buns. Top with guacamole and Queso Fresco; drizzle with Chipotle Crema as needed. Add diced red onions, if desired. Serve with Queso Frito Fries.

Queso Frito Fries:

1. Cut Queso de Freír into 3 ½ x ½ x ½ inch strips. Like regular French fries.
2. In a deep saucepan, heat 1-inch vegetable oil on medium high (375°F).
3. Fry cheese strips until well browned on all sides, about 20 seconds.
4. With slotted spoon, remove and place on paper towel to drain excess oil.
5. Repeat with remaining cheese strips.

Chipotle Crema:

1. In small bowl combine crema and chipotle peppers; stir to mix well.
