1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients needed for the guajolote.
2
Boil the Eggs
Place the large eggs in a pot of boiling water and cook for 9-12 minutes. Once done, transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Peel and slice them in half.
3
Slice the Hot Dogs
Take the hot dogs and slice them lengthwise into halves.
4
Fry the Hot Dogs
In a skillet, heat 1 cup of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced hot dogs and fry until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels.
5
Assemble the Torta
Cut the torta bread in half and layer the bottom half with cheese. Add the boiled egg halves on top of the cheese, followed by the fried hot dogs.
6
Season the Filling
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the filling for flavor. If desired, drizzle with chili sauce.
7
Fry the Torta
In the same skillet with a little leftover oil, place the assembled torta into the skillet and fry it for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
8
Serve
Remove the tortas from the skillet, cut them in half if desired, and serve hot with additional chili sauce on the side.
