Directions
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and let it heat up for about 4 minutes. While it’s warming, make 5 small slits along each hot dog to help the seasoning soak in. Sprinkle about half a teaspoon of taco seasoning evenly over each one, rubbing it in a bit. Pop the hot dogs into the air fryer basket and cook them for around 5 minutes. Then, place each hot dog in a bun and put them back in the air fryer. Let them cook for another 4 minutes or so, until the buns are nicely toasted and the hot dogs have a little crisp to them. Finish by piling on some guacamole, salsa, and jalapeños to taste. Enjoy!
Perfect Side Pairings
Serve with a side of fresh salsa, guacamole, or a simple Mexican-style corn salad. Adding a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro can brighten the flavors. Pair with tortilla chips or a light slaw for a complete meal.
How To Store This Recipe
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to keep the exterior crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the bun soggy.
