Pigs in Ponchos

Pigs in Ponchos (Tortilla-Wrapped Franks and Beans)

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

Directions:
Preheat outdoor or indoor grill or a 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.

Meanwhile, grill the poblano (or cook over and open flame on the stovetop or until the broiler) until evenly charred.  Transfer to a bowl, cover and let cool, then peel and slice.

Make the ponchos: top each of 4 tortillas with a thin layer or 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 hot 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 tortilla.

Great for individual athletes, athlete parents and anybody who is subjected to inclement weather. The Original Wallrest is the smallest when packed and has the ability to connect to the other insulated Wallrests. The Original Wallrest is the most versatile of the 3 insulated Wallrests.
