Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef hot dogs
- 8 pieces romaine lettuce leaves (large, for wrapping)
- 4 pieces dill pickle spears
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 0.25 cup white onion, finely chopped
- 4 pieces sport peppers (optional, for spice)
- 0.25 teaspoon celery salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Grill the beef hot dogs for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have a nice char.
While the hot dogs cook, prep the toppings: finely chop the white onion, slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and set aside the pickle spears and sport peppers.
Lay two large romaine lettuce leaves flat on a plate, overlapping slightly to create a sturdy 'bun' for each hot dog.
Place one grilled hot dog in the center of each lettuce wrap.
Top each hot dog with 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, a few chopped onions, and 2 halved cherry tomatoes.
Add one dill pickle spear and a sport pepper (if desired) alongside the hot dog.
Sprinkle a small pinch of celery salt over each hot dog for a classic Chicago-style flavor.
Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-carb Chicago-style hot dogs!
