Ingredients

Scale

Chili Sauce

1 pound ground chuck
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup water

Main Ingredients

8 hot dogs
8 low carb tortillas or wraps
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Prepare Chili Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cooked ground chuck, petite diced tomatoes, water, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Assemble Casserole: Spoon a portion of the chili sauce into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Roll each hot dog in a low-carb tortilla and place them seam-side down in the sauce layer.
Add Remaining Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining chili sauce evenly over the layered hot dogs and tortillas, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is set.
Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly to allow it to set further before serving. Add your favorite keto-friendly toppings if desired.

Notes

You can substitute ground chuck with ground beef or turkey if preferred.
For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the chili sauce.
If low-carb tortillas are not available, use large lettuce wraps as a low-carb alternative.
Consider topping with sour cream, chopped green onions, or jalapeños for added flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
