Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces whole wheat hot dog buns
- 6 pieces low-fat chicken hot dogs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 piece medium onion, chopped
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces medium tomato, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by heating olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan, sautéing until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they start breaking down, approximately 3 minutes.
Mix in the tomato paste, low-sodium chicken broth, mustard, and ketchup. Stir well to create a smooth sauce.
Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
While the sauce simmers, grill or cook the low-fat chicken hot dogs as per package instructions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes.
Warm the whole wheat hot dog buns in the oven or toaster for a couple of minutes until soft.
To assemble, spread a small amount of light mayonnaise inside each bun.
Place a hot dog inside each prepared bun, then top with a portion of sauce.
Finish with the grated carrots, shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley on top for an added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthier version of Cachorro Quente!
