Recipe - Street Cart Hot Dog Stuffed Pitas

Happy 4th of July!!  If you're grilling out today, here's an interesting twist on the loaded hot-dog concept. Pitas make these less messy to eat, and you can use whole wheat if for more fiber - I like the taste of the whole wheat ones better anyway. Stuff your pitas full of goodness, and chow down - street-cart style!

Street Cart Hot Dog Stuffed Pitas
Ingredients:

1/2 lb hot dogs, cubed
1/2 lb sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (2 oz) jar stuffed green olives, chopped
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup chili sauce
1 tsp mustard
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
4 pita rounds
Heavy duty aluminum foil

Instructions:

  • Cut hot dogs lengthwise into fourths, then slice into small pieces and put in a bowl.
  • To the bowl, add the cheese, olives, onions, chili sauce, mustard, eggs, and mayonnaise, and mix together until well combined.
  • Cut pita rounds in half, open and fill them almost full (use up the filling.)
  • Take heavy duty foil and tightly wrap each pita packet separately.
  • Refrigerate until ready to grill.
  • Set grill to hot, and place foil-wrapped pita pockets on grill, cooking for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping once.
  • Remove pitas from foil and continue grilling until crisp, about 10 minutes more.  Flip if you can, but be careful to keep filling inside.
  • Serve with cold dipping sauces if desired.
