Tips for making the Best Cheesy Chili Dog Skillet:

• 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.
• Another fun way to eat these Cheesy Chili Dogs is slicing them into one inch pieces and adding them to tortilla chips and eating them like cheesy chili dog nachos.
• Corn bread would also go perfect with these Cheesy Chili Dogs.
