Note

This recipe is flexible with quantities; feel free to adjust the amount of hot dogs and vegetables based on what you have on hand.

For a heartier meal, consider adding a can of drained kidney beans or black beans to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking.

You can use frozen diced green peppers for convenience; thaw and drain before adding to the skillet.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice for a brighter flavor profile.
