Salsa Dogs
Serves 4
A little salsa spices up these knockwurst "sliders!"
Ingredients
- 2 Haas avocados
- Salt
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 pint grape tomatoes
- 3 slices pickled jalapeño chilies
- 8 soft, small oval whole wheat dinner rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 package jumbo beef franks or knockwurst (12 ounces)
Directions
- Pre-heat a grill to medium.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocados until smooth. Season with salt.
- Using a food processor, finely chop the garlic. Add the tomatoes and chilies and process for 5 seconds. Season with salt.
- Split the rolls, leaving a long edge attached, and spread the butter on the insides. Place the franks on the grill, cover and cook, turning, until lightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the open rolls butter-side down on the grill; cover and toast until lightly golden, 3-5 minutes.
- Cut each frank in half crosswise and place a half in each roll. Spread the avocado mash down the length of each frank, then top with the tomato salsa.
