Tortilla Dogs on the Blackstone
Blackstone Tortilla Dogs are a fun and delicious alternative to traditional hot dogs. Wrapping hot dogs in flour tortillas and cooking them on a griddle creates a crispy, flavorful treat. This recipe is versatile and can be finished in the oven or air fryer for an extra crunch. Perfect for kids and adults alike, these tortilla dogs are a quick and easy way to elevate your hot dog game.
These tortilla dogs would make a perfect and fun party appetizer done up with tooth pics and condiments, or they also make a great on-the-go lunch for kids (or hot dog loving adults).

Instructions
- Preheat your griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Lay out a raw tortilla and place a hot dog just slightly short of the middle of a tortilla. Fold the sides over the ends of the hot dog, and then grab the short side of the tortilla and fold it over the hot dog. Roll the hot dog up in the tortilla, and place on the preheated griddle in hot oil, seam side down.
- Cook until browned, turning frequently to ensure even browning on all sides.
- Repeat with the rest of the hot dogs until they are all browned. Finish the tortilla dogs in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. This step can also be done in the air fryer. You can skip it, but it helps fully cook the tortilla on the inside of the wrap better than cooking just on the griddle surface.
