Ingredients

• 6 Hot dogs
• 6 Corn tortillas
• 2 cups (shredded) Cabbage
• 1 (shredded) Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 (sliced) Avocado
• 3 (sliced, optional) Pickled jalapeños

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the curtido (cabbage slaw). In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 2

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the hot dogs for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally until heated through and slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Warm up the corn tortillas by placing them on the skillet or on a griddle for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Stack them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.

Step 4

To assemble the mixtas, place a warmed tortilla on a plate. Add one cooked hot dog in the center.

Step 5

Top the hot dog with a spoonful of the curtido (cabbage slaw), a few slices of avocado, and optional pickled jalapeños for a spicy kick.

Step 6

Drizzle a small amount of mayonnaise and ketchup over the top for added flavor.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and hot dogs. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Mixtas Guatemaltecas!
