The Windy City Classic Mother-in-Law sandwich


Indulge in a fusion of Tex-Mex and Chicago culture with our unique take on the classic Mother-in-Law dog. Instead of the traditional hot dog, we've swapped in our savory tamales, elevating the dish to new heights of deliciousness. Picture this: a tender tamale nestled in a fluffy bun, topped with a hearty layer of our mouthwatering Homestyle Chili, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese. Then, we add a burst of freshness with zesty pico de gallo or diced onions, and crown it all with tangy pickled jalapenos for an unforgettable flavor
explosion. This Texan twist on a Windy City classic is perfect for a ball game, BBQ get-together, 4th of July party, or anytime you're craving something delightfully different. So gather your ingredients and get ready to impress your taste buds with this bold and hearty dish!
