Salsa Dogs

Add a little spicy kick for adults with some fresh chopped jalapeno.

8 hot dogs
1/3 cup mesquite flavored barbecue sauce
1/3 cup chunky salsa
8 hot dog buns
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, well drained
1/2 cup 4-cheese Mexican style shredded cheese
1 small fresh jalapeņo, seeded and chopped fine (optional)

Grill hot dogs 6 to 8 minutes over medium heat. Turn often and continue to cook until steamy hot throughout or internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.

In a small saucepan, stir barbecue sauce and salsa together. Cook over low heat until bubbly.

Place a grilled hot dog on each bun; top each hot dog with 1 tablespoon salsa mixture, 1 tablespoon green chilies and 1 tablespoon shredded cheeses.

Broil, 4-inches from heat source, just until cheese is melted.

Sprinkle chopped jalapeņo atop melted cheese.
