This keto-friendly recipe for Hot Dog and Egg Tacos is easy to make and the perfect breakfast, brunch, or breakfast for dinner recipe. Made using low-carb tortillas, Coleman Natural Hot Dogs and a fried egg topped with avocado and freshly made salsa, these keto-friendly breakfast tacos are one of those recipes you’re sure to come back to again and again.
Sometimes I really get tired of eating the same things for dinner, and I thought it would be fun to try something new. I am always looking for easy, keto-friendly recipes that are low in carbs and high in protein. Plus, I love recipes that are easy to prepare, nutritious, and taste amazing, like these Cuban Picadillo stuffed peppers!
At home, we all love hot dogs but this time I wanted to do something a bit different. I wanted to get creative and think outside the bun. For this recipe, I took inspiration from the Guatemalan “mixtas” which are very similar to a hot dog but instead of a hot dog bun they are made with corn tortillas.
For my version of these Hot Dog and Egg Tacos I used a low-carb wheat tortilla instead of the corn tortilla, and instead of using guacamole, I topped them with fresh avocado and homemade salsa. I treated these more like a taco than a traditional hot dog.
I really like that this recipe comes together in no time and it’s also kid-friendly. If you want to save even more time, you can use store-bought salsa, as this will save you some time and effort.
The best hot dogs
The key to making this recipe a total success is using quality ingredients, starting with the hot dogs. When it comes to hot dogs, quality is so important. I only buy Coleman Natural Hot Dogs because they not only taste great, but because I can feel good about serving them to my family!
Coleman Natural Foods produces all-natural meats sourced from American family farmers that raise their animals with no antibiotics or added hormones, ever. As I shared in a previous post, making sure that my pork and beef is raised without antibiotics is really important for me. And, Coleman Natural 100% Beef Hot Dogs contain no added nitrates or nitrites, no artificial preservatives or ingredients. When I buy Coleman Natural products I can feel confident that I am feeding my family better. You can find Coleman Natural products at Sprouts like I do, or at your local grocery store.

- 1 tomato, diced
- ¼ red onion, diced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced

Tell me: have you ever had a hot dog in a tortilla? If you haven’t you’re really missing out. I grew up having hot dogs in tortillas topped with guacamole. Like I shared before, they are called “mixtas” and are a very popular Guatemalan street food.
I really love how these “Guatemalan mixtas” inspired keto-friendly Hot Dog and Egg Tacos came out. I’m sure they will now be a permanent part of our dinner rotation. They’re ideal for those days when you want to get dinner on the table quickly and with little effort.

These look like some delicious tacos. I will have to make them for dinner one night!
I can honestly say I have never seen hot dogs or eggs used in tacos before. I do love both so I’d try these!
This is a really unique combination, I sure this tastes really yummy.
Keto hot dogs? That’s pretty sweet! I’m not on Keto but my BFF is and she’ll love these.
Wow, this is so easy to do and all the ingredients are already on my fridge. Haha
I love anything with tacos and your keto hot dog and egg tacos look incredibly delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us. I’d love to give it a try!
We have eggs almost everyday and it’s challenging to find new ways to enjoy them. This is definitely something exciting! Can’t wait to try.
These certainly are different. I do like to try a range of taco fillings. Not had eggs or hot dogs in them before.
What a good way to serve hot dogs. I have several packages in my freezer that are not being eaten.
My husband loves hot dogs, I love tacos, this may be the perfect meal idea!
We love tacos but never thought of creating this. I’m going to make this soon. Yum!
