Ingredients

• 4 gluten-free hot dog buns
• 4 gluten-free hot dogs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup potato sticks (batata palha)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 2

Once heated, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, sautéing until the onion is translucent and the peppers are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, diced tomatoes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.

Step 4

In a separate pot or another section of the skillet, grill the gluten-free hot dogs on medium heat until properly heated through, about 5-7 minutes, turning frequently.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the gluten-free buns by slicing them down the middle, ensuring not to cut all the way through.

Step 6

Spread a layer of ketchup and mayonnaise inside each bun according to taste.

Step 7

Place a hot dog inside each bun and top with the sautéed onion and pepper mixture.

Step 8

Add a generous handful of potato sticks on top of the onions and peppers.

Step 9

Finish by sprinkling with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Cachorro Quente!
