Ingredients

3 avocados
3 tbsp cilantro ((chopped))
1 lime ((juiced))
½ red onion ((chopped))
1 serrano pepper ((minced))
2 garlic cloves ((minced))
salt
3 roma tomatoes
2 serrano peppers ((minced))
1 lemon (juiced)
1 tbsp mint ((chopped))
salt ((to taste))
8 wieners
8 corn tortillas ((small, size of a wiener))
½ cup queso fresco ((crumbled))
1 cup red cabbage ((shredded))
mustard

Steps:

Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed and the skin. Put the green part in a big bowl, add lime juice and salt, and mash it up.
Add the serrano pepper, onion, garlic, and cilantro. Mix until homogenous. Taste, add more salt if necessary. Cover and leave out while finishing the rest of the recipe.
Heat up a skillet on medium heat with no liquid. Add your tomatoes, and let them char, about 5 minutes. Then, turn them to a second side and char on that side, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add to another bowl, and mash the tomatoes.
To the mashed tomatoes, add serrano peppers, lemon juice, mint, and salt to taste. If more acidity is desired, add vinegar or more lemon juice.
Heat up a skillet on medium heat. Add your hot dogs, char on each side, about a minute or 2 per side. Remove from heat.
Add tortillas to the skillet, toast on both sides briefly, about 10-15 seconds each.
Put the wiener in the middle of the tortilla. Guac on one side, cabbage on the other. Add as much chirmol as you like on top of the wiener, then sprinkle queso fresco on top of that. Finish with mustard.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package soft tortillas, warmed
1 (12 -16 ounce) package all beef hot dogs, grilled
hot sauce (Tapatio or Sriracha)
1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1 (10 ounce) bag shredded cabbage (angel hair style or thinly slice half of one cabbage)
juice of one lime
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 cup red onion, minced (or more to taste)
4 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
2 ripe Hass avocadoes
1/4 red onion, minced
1/2 small lime, juiced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch salt

Steps:

To Make The Guatemalan Slaw: Toss shredded cabbage with the juice of one lime, chopped cilantro and minced red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, enough to just coat the mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
To Make The Guacamole de Antigua: Remove the flesh from the avocado and mash with a fork in a bowl. Mix in the red onion. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture. Rub the teaspoon of oregano between you fingers to release the herb's oils and then add to avocado mixture. Add salt to taste.
To Make The Mixtas: When the hot dogs are done serve on warm tortillas (you may double layer the tortillas, if you prefer) with Guatemalan slaw, guacamole de Antigua, hot sauce and green chilies. Tip: Butterfly the hot dogs in half lengthwise for better piling.

Tips:

Use high-quality hot dogs: Choose all-beef hot dogs or sausages that are free of fillers and preservatives. This will ensure a more flavorful and satisfying result.
Cook the hot dogs properly: Grill, fry, or boil the hot dogs until they are cooked through and slightly charred. This will give them a delicious smoky flavor.
Use a variety of toppings: The beauty of Guatemalan mixtas is that they can be customized to your liking. Try different combinations of toppings, such as avocado, tomato, onion, cabbage, and pickled jalapeños.
Don't be afraid to experiment: There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to Guatemalan mixtas. Feel free to get creative and experiment with different ingredients and flavors.

Conclusion:

Guatemalan hot dog mixtas are a delicious and versatile street food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give Guatemalan mixtas a try.
