LA Street Meat Cheese Fries
These street meat cheese fries is where its at! They’re loaded with everything you love from a Mexican style or “street meat” hot dog. Topped on mexican seasoned fries and sooo good!
If you’re native the Southern California, the term “Street Meat” is something you’re probably familiar with. In the LA area, street meat vendors are always something to find after a sporting event, or late night in the city.
If you’re not familiar with the term, These are hot dogs wrapped in bacon, topped with peppers and onions, and sometimes jalapeno, cilantro, and a little ketchup and mayo. They’re out of this world! Screw a coney dog. This is where its at!
Now think about that, but turned into cheese fries. Ultimate food truck food!
I tried to keep these street meat fries true to what I love about these style hot dogs. But, I had to add a little extra oomph to this by taking some leftover barbacoa rub that I made, and use it to dust the fries.
It added a ton of flavor and heat to this meal, and I cannot suggest it enough!

I don’t normally leave comments for anything but after making this for the umpteenth time, I have to! This has become a staple meal at the firehouse since its easy to expand the quantities to make it sheetpan style and feeds an army of hungry firefighters! I do use kielbasa instead of hot dogs but the rest is the same. Thanks for the great recipe!!
Kielbasa is a great sub! makes we want to try this with brats toO!
