Fajita Hot Dogs Recipes

GRILLED FAJITA HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Heat grill on medium, approximately 300 degrees F.
• Wash bell peppers. Cut off tops (stems) and discard seeds from inside. Slice bell peppers in half lengthwise. Peel onions and cut in half.
• Place bell peppers on the grill with cut side up. Place onions on the grill with cut side down. When they have nice char markings, turn them over and repeat on other sides. Remove from grill when the peppers and onions have softened, have char marks, and are cooked to your desire. When cool enough to handle, slice grilled bell peppers and onions into strips.
• Place hot dogs on the grill so that they are lying across (perpendicular) the grates. Cook for about 2 minutes and then roll hot dogs a bit so that another part of the hot dog that hasn't touched the grate yet is now resting on it. Continue until your hot dog has char marks as desired and it slightly browned. Remove from grill when you are happy with with the appearance - our hot dogs generally take no longer than 5 minutes.
• Assemble fajita hot dogs by place a hot dog into a bun and then topping with peppers, onions, and desired toppings.

FAJITA HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium heat on one side, and low heat on the other side.
• Place onions and peppers on medium heat side of the grill and cook until soft and slightly charred. Move over to the low side. You can do them two different ways. You can grill them whole, then cut them up after they're cooked. Or you can place them on a rimmed cookie sheet with a bit of olive oil over top of them to control the heat better. This also allows you to cut up all the vegetables ahead of time and cook them all on one pan. I prefer the rimmed cookie sheet pan personally. That way I save time when I'm ready to load up my dogs.
• Place hot dogs on the medium heat side of the grill. Cook until cooked through, rotating when necessary. Cook for about 8 to 12 minutes, depending on your grill. Move each to the low side as they finish.
• Transfer everything to a platter and take inside, or place on picnic table. Slide the hot dogs on the buns, then top with onions and peppers.
• Serve with a big old Fajita Dog loving smile!

EASY CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and wrap 6 medium tortillas in foil.
• Mix 1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp ground coriander, a pinch of ground cumin, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 4 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 1 lime and 4-5 drops Tabasco together in a bowl with a big pinch each of salt and pepper.
• Stir 2 finely sliced chicken breasts, 1 finely sliced red onion, 1 sliced red pepper and 1 finely sliced red chilli, if using, into the marinade.
• Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and add the chicken and marinade to the pan.
• Keep everything moving over a high heat for about 5 mins using tongs until you get a nice charred effect. If your griddle pan is small you may need to do this in two batches.
• To check the chicken is cooked, find the thickest part and tear in half - if any part is still raw cook until done.
• Put the tortillas in the oven to heat up and serve with the cooked chicken, a bag of mixed salad and one 230g tub of fresh salsa.
