Ingredients
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 cup tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 jalapeno, chopped (remove seeds and ribes to lower the heat)
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 lime (about 2.4 oz.), zested and juiced
2 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
4 white turkey hot dogs
(We used Ball Park Smoked White Turkey Franks.)
4 whole wheat hot dog buns
(We used Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat Hot Dog Rolls.)
buttery cooking spray
1/4 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1. Mix together the first nine ingredients, corn through cilantro in a bowl, cover and refrigerate until needed.
2. Cook the hot dogs on a grill until browned. If you're doing this indoors, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the hot dogs on a baking sheet and cook in the oven. 8 minutes on one side, then rotate and cook another 8 minutes until brown.
3. About 3 minutes before the hot dogs are done, place hot dog buns on a baking sheet, lightly spray with buttery cooking spray, then put in the oven for 3 minutes.
4. Put the hot dogs in the buns, cover with 1/4 cup of salsa and sprinkle 2 Tbsp. cheese over the top.
