Ingredients
To make these you’ll need:

- Hot dogs– Your favorite kind, cut into slices.
- Flour tortillas– Large, burrito sized ones
- Hot dog chili– Use your favorite premade kind.
- Cheese– Shredded cheddar
- Onions – Diced or minced white onion is an optional ingredient, but one that really gives it that classic chili cheese dog flavor.
How to Make
Making chili cheese dog quesadillas is very easy!
Just melt one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat and then brown the sliced hot dogs on both sides in the melted butter.
Once they are browned, transfer them to a waiting plate while you assemble the quesadillas.
To do it, spread half of the chili onto a tortilla in an even layer followed by half of the sliced hot dogs and half the cheese.
Cover the filling with another tortilla.
Melt the rest of the butter in the skillet and then cook the quesadilla over medium low heat until the cheese starts to melt and the filling heats.
Flip it over and cook on the second side until it is golden brown and crispy.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, hot dogs, cheese, and chili.
Slice into triangles and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
While this meal is a fabulous way to use up leftover hot dogs, it doesn’t make for great leftovers itself.
The quesadillas will get soggy in the fridge so only make as many as you plan to serve and eat.
