instructions
    1

    Start by preparing the salsa picante for your hot dogs. If you're using a store-bought salsa, you can skip this step.

    2

    For the homemade salsa, finely chop the onion and jalapeño, then mix them with the salsa picante in a bowl. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat up a little water over medium heat and add the hot dogs. Cover them and steam for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are heated through.

    4

    While the hot dogs are cooking, chop the cilantro and slice the lime into wedges.

    5

    Once the hot dogs are ready, place them in the buns.

    6

    Generously drizzle the prepared salsa picante over each hot dog, and then sprinkle with chopped onion and cilantro.

    7

    Serve the hot dogs with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating.

    8

    Enjoy your Perro Caliente con Salsa Picante and take a moment to appreciate the burst of flavors!
