Taco Franks

Land O Lakes Cookbook ‘79

8 crisp corn taco shells

8 wieners, heated and drained

1 c. prepared taco sauce

1 c. shredded cheese with jalapeno peppers

½ c. shredded lettuce

½ c. diced (1/4”) tomato

Preheat oven: 375F.

In 12x8x2” baking dish place taco shells side by side open side up. Place 1 heated wiener in each taco shell. 

I was SO discombobulated by this.

Top each wiener with 1 tbsp. taco sauce and 2 tbsp. shredded cheese. Bake hear center of 375F oven for 10 to 15 min. or until cheese is melted and sandwich is hot. 

YOU HEARD THAT IT CALLED A TACO A SANDWICH. The debate is officially over.

Meanwhile, combine lettuce and tomato. 

Easy enough!

To serve, top hot sandwich with 1 tbsp. lettuce/tomato mixture and 1 tbsp additional taco sauce, if desired.

TIP: 9’ sq baking pan can be used in place of 12x8x2” baking dish.

It's a taco with a hot dog in it! 

My Rating: 4/5 "Once you get over the fact that it's an unexpected combination of foods this is actually pretty fun. You'll want a good taco sauce and a nice big hot dog to round out the effect. It's a little difficult to keep the shell intact while you're eating it, but there's no harm in getting a little sauce on your fingers."
