Loaded Tex-Mex Hot Dog 🌭✨

Ingredients:

• For the hot dogs:

  • 4 beef or pork hot dog sausages
  • 4 hot dog buns, toasted

• For the Tex-Mex toppings:

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup fresh salsa (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions:

1. Cook the hot dogs:

   • Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the sausages for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and slightly charred.
   • Stovetop: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the buns:

   • Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden.

3. Assemble the hot dogs:

   • Place a cooked hot dog in each toasted bun.
   • Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot dog while it’s still warm so it melts slightly.

4. Add the Tex-Mex toppings:

   • Spoon black beans over the cheese.
   • Add a generous dollop of fresh salsa.
   • Top with diced avocado and a drizzle of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
   • Garnish with jalapeño slices (if desired) and chopped cilantro.

5. Serve:

   • Squeeze a lime wedge over each hot dog for a fresh, tangy kick. Serve immediately.

• Vegetarian Option: Use plant-based sausages and vegan cheese for a meat-free version.
