This is a copycat recipe for Coors Field Taco Hot Dog. Our Colorado Rockies baseball team official Hot Dog. With chorizo sausage, cheese and pico, you can’t go wrong.
Not quite over our triumphant Super Bowl Win, and it’s time for Colorado sports fans to put away our orange t-shirts and welcome our Colorado Rockies back from Spring Training.
It’s time to play ball at Coors Field. Time to lose the chili and sliders and switch gears to peanuts, Cracker Jack and hot dogs. It’s opening day.
In 2015 Rockies Baseball announced that we have an official hot dog. It’s about time we had our own, after all, we’ve been a major league team since 1993. The “Taco Hot Dog,” is a link of Mexican Chorizo, topped with melted cheese, pico de gallo and some lettuce.

“I see great things in baseball. It’s our game-the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set…and be a blessing to us. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.” — Walt Whitman.

Nothing wrong with taco-fying a hot dog. Or anything else. Looks good to me!
I think I’ve put pico de gallo on everything. Well, not breakfast cereal. Yet. 🙂 Anyway, good looking dog! Love the idea — thanks.
My husband would love this with the chorizo! It’s so nice to think about baseball, tailgating and spring. Hot dogs are the perfect celebration of all three – although the Wisconsin brat is slightly more popular here at Miller Park 🙂
HI Lea Ann, there is nothing like a hot dog when your at a game, this looks delicious, spicy and sweet.
Looks like a delicious take on the dawg.
Second dog I’ve read about today! Tis the season!
Tis the season and opening day for the Rockies. Play Ball! 🙂
This dog looks super! Outstanding! (Too bad my Texas Rangers are gonna win it all this year.) 😉
Thanks Adam. I have to admit, I don’t know much about the Rangers … I’m just glad it ‘s baseball season.
Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more appealing looking hot dog. It looks full of healthy goodness. Who wouldn’t want to eat one of these!
