Word Series Food with Hebrew National...Featuring Astro-Nomic Nacho Hot Dogs #hotdog #hebrewnational #allamerican #baseballfood

Disclosure: Hebrew National provided product for recipe development for this feature. I also need to point out that Hebrew National hot dogs are Kosher, but this recipe is NOT Kosher.

It's World Series time...and we're having an absolute BLAST cheering on our amazing Houston Astros!! Things started out rough...with two big home losses. However, things are looking up now -- with the best-of-seven series tied at 2-2 as I write this post. When we watch the big game at home, delicious food is a must! There's nothing more synonymous with baseball than hot dogs...so I'm using Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Beef Franks to make my personal riff on their quick Mexican Beef Franks recipe. My Astro-Nomic Nacho Hot Dogs are a fusion of two ballpark classics: nachos and hot dogs. With eat bite, you'll get a taste of both iconic dishes! Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Beef Franks taste great and are made with 100% Kosher beef. Each frank has just 45 calories and 1 GRAM of fat...but they're full of zesty flavor. For those of you following Weight Watchers, each of these franks is just 1 Freestyle SmartPoint!! I especially love that these Hebrew National beef franks are made with zero artificial colors, flavorings, or by-products. I love knowing that these franks are a cleaner way to start out my recipes! 

Astro-Nomic Nacho Hot Dogs

adapted from Hebrew National

Ingredients (makes 6 hot dogs):

• 1 package Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Beef Franks
• 6 whole wheat hot dog buns
• 48 bite-size mini tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar-Jack cheese
• 2 medium avocados
• 1/2 cup pico de gallo (store-bought or homemade)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup fat free plain Greek yogurt
• Juice of one lime

Directions:

Step 1: Make the quick guacamole topping. Add the avocado and pico de gallo to a small bowl and combine -- I like to leave the avocado a little bit chunky for texture. Taste and add salt & pepper to taste. Cover and store in the fridge until you're ready to top the hot dogs.

Step 2: Preheat oven to 375℉. Place the hot dog buns on a baking sheet. Line each side of the bun with four mini tortilla chips -- eight total per hot dog. Add 1/3 cup of the cheese into the buns, near the tortilla chips. Place one Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Beef Frank to each bun.

Step 3: Bake for 5-7 minutes. The cheese should be melted, the hot dogs warm, and the buns slightly toasted. While the hot dogs are in the oven, make the crema drizzle by combining the Greek yogurt and lime juice in a small bowl. To serve, top each hot dog with an equal amount of the avocado-pico topping. Drizzle with a bit of the lime crema and serve.

These fun hot dogs are so GOOD! Every bite combines the crunch and cheesiness of nachos with the savory, juicy flavor of a game day hot dog! The lightly spiced avocado-pico topping and lime crema are delicious condiments that bridge both flavors perfectly. This is a fun dish for any World Series watch parties you have planned. Even better? They're ready to eat in less than 30 minutes! I served these hot dogs with crispy oven fries...but chips and queso would also be perfect on the side.
