STOCKPILE COOKING: PIGS IN A PONCHO




Pigs in Ponchos (Tortilla-Wrapped Franks and Beans)


What a great idea
I love it being a lighter version of Pigs in a Blanket!

I think this would be fun to do 
next time I have a house full of kids!!



Servings: 8


Ingredients

  • good-quality hot dogs
  • can  (16 oz.) vegetarian (lard-free) spicy refried beans
  • large poblano chile pepper
  • 16 flour tortillas (8-inch), heated to soften slightly
  • 1 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought salsa verde
  • Yellow mustard, jalapeno mustard or honey mustard
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
  • Cooking spray

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill, indoor griddle or grill pan to medium-high heat. Parboil the hot dogs for a few minutes to heat through. In a medium saucepan, heat the beans over medium heat (or cover and heat in the microwave on high for 3 minutes), adding a little water to thin slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, grill the poblano (or cook over an open flame on the stovetop or under the broiler) until evenly charred. Transfer to a bowl, cover and let cool, then peel and slice.
  3. Make the ponchos: Top each of 4 tortillas with a thin layer of salsa verde, a swirl of mustard, a few slices of poblano and lots of cheese, then cover each with another tortilla. Spread the top tortilla with some beans and set a dog at one end. Wrap and roll up the tortilla stack around the dog; repeat with the remaining ingredients. Spray the ponchos with cooking spray and grill for a few minutes to brown and crisp the tortillas.
