My husband and I really like to watch the show Man vs. Food(Nation) on the Travel Channel and when you watch that show it makes you hungry. I watched this one episode when they were making these wonderfully, yummy hot dogs and we love Mexican food or any spin-off of it so I decided I would come up with my own recipe for making these yummy dogs and I did. I know you are probably reading this recipe and saying how unhealthy, you are right, but this is something you don't splurge on every day, maybe once every few months? Recipe follows below:
Steam hot dog bun, if you don't have a steamer, it is not a make or break it kind of deal.
Put hot dog into bun and top with:
Pinto beans(I drained and rinsed my beans and warmed them up in the microwave), diced onions, diced tomatoes, jalapeno sauce, mustard and mayo
How I made my jalapeno sauce:
At Wal-Mart in the Mexican food section by the salsas they sell this brand called La Costena and it is a Green Mexican salsa. I bought that and poured the entire bottle in my blender and added 3 large very fresh chopped up jalapenos with seeds and pureed it (or if you like it hot, add more, when I made it I used 5-10 fresh jalapenos). I put the mixture back into the bottle and drizzled it over the hot dogs. Save the leftovers in the fridge to put on other things you like spicy.
You start out with bacon wrapped hot dogs fried in a frying pan. I used 97% fat-free Hebrew National hot dogs. We ate them on steamed whole wheat hot dog buns. |
