Chili Dogs in a Lettuce Bun (Low Carb)

I'm all about saving on unnecessary calories and eating low carb these days.  I was so excited when I realized I could make my chili dog recipe low carb friendly by switching out the bun for a few baby romaine lettuce leaves.  

 

The romaine lettuce gives a perfect shape for the hot dog and to make it less messy so I tripled up on the lettuce for the bun.  I also kept all the filling from falling out by taking an extra leaf and placing it on top of the hot dog to make it seal in all the fixings.  My kids munched on their traditional bread hot dog buns and I indulged (wink) with my low carb lettuce option.  I love when that can happen.
