With all of the Super Bowl foods that a lot of us will be eating - nachos, burgers, chili, chips and dip, chicken wings, etc - can we possibly throw in a hot dog recipe that is actually healthy?
Well, sort of.
This recipe is for Hot Dog Quesadillas, and besides using low-fat hot dogs, you wrap them in whole wheat tortillas and top them with low fat cheese, olive oil, and chili beans. Full recipe after the jump.
