What you need to make this

Ingredients

15 hot dog buns
15 hot dogs (bun length)
1 bag blue tortilla chips
3 slices white cheese
Ketchup

Supplies

Large rectangular cutting board (we used a 15″ x 20″)
Small star cookie cutter

Instructions

Cook the hot dogs using your preferred method.

Place the hot dogs in buns and arrange them on a large rectangular cutting board. For a 15″ x 20″ board, create three rows of 3 hot dogs and three rows of 2 hot dogs. Adjust as needed depending on your board size. The key is using a rectangular board to get that flag look.

Fill the top left corner of the board with blue tortilla chips.

Use a small star cookie cutter to cut stars from the white cheese slices. You’ll need about 8 to 10 stars. Place them on top of the chips.

Add ketchup in a squiggly line across each hot dog.

Serve immediately and enjoy.

This is such a fun and easy option for 4th of July recipes, Memorial Day food, or any summer BBQ. It’s simple, festive, and always a hit with both kids and adults.
