Chef's tips
Use leftover Delta hot tamales (spicy meat wrapped in cornmeal) or similar tamales. Crumble the cornmeal and meat together while warm, and toast buns so they do not get soggy.
Storage
Best assembled fresh; store toppings and hot dogs separately if needed, up to 2 days.
Reheating
Reheat toppings in a skillet and hot dogs on a griddle before assembling.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Adding too much topping so the bun breaks apart
- •Using cold tamale topping instead of heating it all the way through
