Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Begin by preparing the cocktail franks. Carefully cut a wedge from the end of each frank to resemble a toenail. If desired, you can cut the sausages in half to have two 'toes' on each one.
3
Next, take your tortillas and cut them into strips approximately 4 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Discard any leftover ends.
4
To make the tortilla strips pliable, place them between damp paper towels and microwave for 10 to 30 seconds until softened.
5
Wrap each cocktail frank tightly with a tortilla strip, ensuring to cover it entirely, and use a toothpick to secure the wrap in place.
6
Place the wrapped franks on a baking sheet and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until heated through and slightly crisp.
7
Once out of the oven, carefully fill each 'toenail' with a dab of ketchup or mustard. Remove the toothpicks before serving to avoid any sharp edges.
