Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hot dog buns
- 4 pieces Beef or pork hot dogs
- 2 pieces Poblano peppers
- 4 slices Pepper jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Tomatillo salsa
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the poblano peppers with vegetable oil and place them on the grill.
Grill the peppers for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered. Remove from the grill and place in a bowl, covering it with plastic wrap to steam. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
While the peppers cool, grill the hot dogs for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and develop grill marks.
Return to the cooled poblano peppers. Peel off the charred skin, remove the stems and seeds, and slice the peppers into thin strips.
Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until warmed and slightly crisp.
To assemble the hot dogs, place a grilled hot dog into each bun. Top with a slice of pepper jack cheese, a few strips of roasted poblano peppers, and a generous spoonful of tomatillo salsa.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
