Directions
Meanwhile, for salsa, preheat a charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking to medium-high heat (375 degrees). Place a large cast iron skillet on grill rack; preheat for 5 to 10 minutes. Add vegetable oil to hot skillet; add onion. Place tomatillos and serrano chiles, skin sides down, in skillet with onion. Cook for 12 to 14 minutes or until vegetables are slightly charred and blistered, stirring occasionally. Remove vegetables from skillet and cool slightly.
Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with hot peppers, wear protective gloves.
Place onion, tomatillos, chiles and garlic in a food processor. Add cilantro and lime juice. Cover and process until mixture forms a course purée. Stir in salt. Set aside 1 cup salsa for serving. Store remaining salsa for another use in a covered container up to 3 days.
For sauce, stir together Wahl sauce, chopped cilantro, lime juice and Sriracha in a small bowl; set aside.
Return cast iron skillet to grill rack. Cook wrapped hot dogs in skillet for 12 to 14 minutes or until bacon is crisp and hot dogs reach 165 degrees, turning every 2 to 3 minutes.
To serve hot dogs, cut each bun from top to bottom, cutting to, but not through bottom of bun. Slightly open buns; spread inside bottoms with refried beans, then spread with Sriracha-and-Cilantro Wahl sauce. Add hot dogs; top with tomatoes, onion, avocado, jalapeño pepper, the reserved 1 cup salsa and sour cream. Serve with lime wedges.
