Pre-Notes

If you prefer, you can grill the Chorizo Sausages, and saute the onions in olive oil.

I really like the Whole Foods Chicken Chorizo Sausages!

Ingredients

1. 1 T plus 1 t olive oil
2. 4 fresh chorizo sausages
3. 1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
4. 3 T finely chopped fresh cilantro
5. 3 T finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6. 2 t finely chopped canned pickled jalapeños and carrots
7. 1/2 jalapeño chile, seeded and finely chopped
8. 2 t red wine vinegar
9. 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
10. 1 avocado diced
11. 4 hot dog buns
12. 4 slices Monterey Jack or Muenster cheese
13. 1 cup thinly sliced radicchio

Instructions

Chorizo

1. Preheat the oven to 400°.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 T oil over medium-high. Add the sausages. Cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add the onion to the drippings in the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. (If needed, add 1 to 2 tbsp. water to the pan to prevent the onion from burning.) Season with salt.

Salsa

1. In a bowl, toss the cilantro, parsley, jalepeno, vinegar, garlic, and the remaining 1 t oil. Just before serving, toss with the avocado and season with salt and pepper.

Dogs

1. On a foil-lined baking sheet, bake the buns, split-side up, until toasted, about 3 minutes.
2. Top with the cheese. Bake until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
3. Top each bun with 1 sausage, the radicchio, onion, and avocado salsa.
