Chilean Green Pebre Sauce for Hot Dogs

Versión en español

In Chile, we eat very tasty hot dogs with sauerkraut, mayonnaise, avocado, and tomato, among many other toppings. But I had never eaten hotdogs with beans, so I was intrigued when I saw that variation in Texas.

Now, they are my favorite type when we go out for hotdogs. This home-made version using BUSH’S Grillin’ Beans is truly spectacular. These are semi-sweet beans, and in the South of the USA, they are served as a side of all things grilled. If invited to a barbecue, for hamburgers or, in this case, hotdogs, you will always find sweet beans, potato salad, and coleslaw.

Since it is summer and I wanted to give them a lighter twist, I used crumbled queso fresco instead of cheddar, which would be the more traditional option. I also made this green pebre, using cucumbers instead of tomatoes, as the tomato season is very short in Houston, and this year’s rains have affected my crop. But cucumbers are beautiful and thriving. So it is a perfect variation for tomato pebre and, as I expected, turned out very fresh.

Remember that some sausages are pre-cooked while others are not. I buy them raw, so before grilling them, I cooked them according to the instructions in the package.
