  • Feel free to add whatever toppings you want.  You could add more chili, avocados, corn, green chilis, etc.
  • Make sure to cover the skillet with foil lightly before baking to avoid burning the tortillas, chili, and cheese.
  • You can cut the Chili Dogs in half before serving and add some fritos or corn chips on top.
  • Both corn and flour tortillas will work for the chili dogs if your family prefers one over the other.
