RICHLAND CENTER, WIS (WRCO ENTERTAINMENT) – Time for the Hankster to feed the masses!

The 2:30 A.M. Hotdog Tortilla Surprise
Well, howdy there, night owl! It’s 2:30 in the mornin’, the owls are hootin’, the moon’s peekin’ through your window, and your stomach… oh, your stomach is hollerin’ like a goat at a hoedown! Fear not, friend—I got just the fix. It’s called… The 2:30 A.M. Hotdog Tortilla Surprise!

Step 1: Gather Yer Magical Ingredients

• 1 tortilla (floppy or fancy, we ain’t picky)
  
• 2 hotdogs (the kind that snap when ya bite ‘em)
  
• 1 cheese stick (the gooey kind that dreams are made of)
  
• Butter (or whatever margarine you got hiding in the back)
  
• Spicy mustard (for the thrill-seekers)
  
• Optional extras: pickles, leftover chili, or a mysterious jar from the pantry

Take a moment to marvel at your ingredients. Look at that cheese stick… it’s practically beggin’ to be melted. And those hotdogs? They’re gonna dance.

Step 2: Toast ‘Em, Baby

“Slap some butter on your tortilla like you’re painting the Sistine Chapel. Pop it in a pan—medium heat, not too hot unless you wanna make a fire alarm cameo. Toast it until it’s golden… or until your cat judges you.”

Step 3: Hotdog Heroics

“Now, grab your hotdogs. Slice ‘em in half lengthwise if you’re fancy—or leave ‘em whole if you like to live dangerously. Toss ‘em in the pan, sizzle ‘em a bit. Smell that? That’s the smell of victory… or regret. Either way, you’re committed now.”

Step 4: Cheese Stick Infiltration

“Break your cheese stick in half. Lay it right on top of those hotdogs. Cover with a lid for a few seconds while it melts. Listen… hear that squish-melt sound? That’s pure happiness in auditory form.”

Step 5: Assembly and Mayhem

“Slide those cheesy, hotdoggy treasures onto your toasted tortilla. Drizzle with spicy mustard if your taste buds are brave. Roll it up like a burrito or fold it like a taco—your call, Picasso. Optional: sneak in a pickle or two for crunch. Or a dab of leftover chili for adventure.”

Step 6: Dramatic Consumption

“Now, my brave 2:30 A.M. chef, take a bite. Chew slowly… savor the chaos. Feel the heat of mustard, the gooey melt of cheese, the warm hug of a hotdog, all wrapped in a buttery tortilla. You didn’t just make a snack… you made a legend.”

“And remember… if anyone asks why you’re eating this at 2:30 A.M., just smile knowingly and say, ‘It’s a hillbilly culinary masterpiece.’ Now go forth… and snack responsibly.”
