This is similar to Happy Dogs in a Blanket, but fundamentally different enough that I wanted to post it. The boys love Chi-hua-huas and they are so easy.
1 package (8 count) veggie dogs
4 slices non-dairy cheese
8 whole wheat tortillas
olive oil or cooking spray
Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add veggie dogs and cook until heated through.
Heat tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds each, or heat in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 1/2 piece of cheese in the center of a tortilla and top with veggie dog. Fold tortilla over each end of the veggie dog, then roll like a burrito. Secure with toothpicks. Repeat for all 8 dogs and tortillas.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange Chi-hua-huas on a cookie sheet (lined with foil, if desired). Brush lightly with a pastry brush dipped in olive oil or spray with a generous coat of cooking spray. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until tortillas just start to brown. Watch closely to prevent burning. Serve immediately.

Happy Dogs in a Blanket
So there is this ongoing joke in my family about "happy food" because I talk a lot about how animals raised on farms are so much happier than those raised in factories, so when I made this recipe it was naturally dubbed as "Happy Dogs," even though there was no meat of any kind. I'm pretty sure the rolls aren't vegan (I didn't read the label) but they were way yummy anyway.
1 package (8 count) reduced fat crescent roll dough
1 package (8 count) veggie dogs (I like Smart Dogs)
4 slices vegan cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut a slit in each veggie dog that runs nearly the full length of the dog, leaving a small part on each end still connected. Do not slice through to the bottom - stop just before you get there. You are making a little pocket for the cheese.
Cut each slice of cheese in half. Fold each half into quarters and stuff cheese into the slit in the veggie dog. Using one section of crescent roll dough at a time, wrap around stuffed dog starting with the large end and finishing so that the little "tail" is on the bottom. Position cheese-side up on cookie sheet. Continue with remaining dogs and rolls until you have 8 Happy Dogs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until rolls are beginning to brown. It will take a couple of minutes longer than the cooking time listed on the roll package. Serve immediately.
Note: Vegan cheese generally does not melt, but it should soften. This recipe is traditionally made with hot dogs and dairy cheese. If you partake of dairy and choose to do so, the dairy cheese will provide a yummy, gooey texture that kids love.
