Mexican Hot Dogs - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 poblano pepper
  • 2 Hatch green chilies or Anaheim peppers
  • 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 2 serrano peppers
  • 4 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced into strips
  • ½ white onion sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 teaspoons Kent’s Taco seasoning or your favorite blend
  • 4 hot dogs
  • 4 hoagie buns
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Roast the poblano, green chilies, jalapenos, and serrano peppers over an open flame until blackened. You can alternatively roast them in an oven heated to 400 degrees F for 10-20 minutes.
  • Place the peppers in a plastic bag with 2 tablespoons of water. Seal the bag and let the peppers steam for about 5 minutes. Peel or scrape the skin off the peppers and discard.
  • De-stem the peppers and remove the seeds. Cut into thin strips. Set aside.
  • Add the avocado oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the bell peppers and onion. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the roasted peppers into the skillet.
  • Add the hot dogs, cumin, and Taco Seasoning and continue to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low.
  • In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Sop both sides of the hoagie buns in the butter and toast both sides. Sprinkle the tops of the buns with about 3 tablespoons of pepper jack cheese. Evenly top the buns with the pepper mixture, reserving some to finish on top. Add the hot dogs. Add more pepper mixture and finish by sprinkling about 3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

Alternatively, you can serve these on a tortilla. For the tortilla method: place a burrito-size tortilla in a cast iron skillet and warm both sides. Lay 2 slices of the American cheese on top of each burrito. Follow with the pepper mixture, hot dog and more pepper mixture. Fold the ends in and roll up. Toast on both sides to a light golden brown.
