Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 large onion finely diced (divided)
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning OR 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon granulated onion, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 14-ounce can black beans, drained
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 3 large tomatoes diced
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime
  • 2 large avocado
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot add the ground sirloin and cook, breaking down with a wooden spoon, until crumbled and golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in half of the onions and cook for a minute or two longer. Add the taco seasoning, black beans and tomato sauce, and stir, cooking on low for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • To make the pico de gallo, in a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, the remaining onion, jalapeño, cilantro, half of a lime juiced, salt and pepper until well incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, mash together the avocado with the remaining lime juice half. Add a couple spoonfuls of the pico de gallo and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Set a skillet over medium heat with a bit of olive oil. Add the hot dogs and cook until crispy and seared on all sides, about 5 minutes. Split the hot dog buns and insert a hot dog in each, placing them on a platter. Top each hot dog with some of the taco meat mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo and guacamole. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
