Cafe Rio Sweet Pork Tomatillo Ranch Hot Dogs

4 hot dogs
4 hot dog buns
1 cup shredded sweet pork
1 cup creamy tomatillo ranch dressing
optional: chopped cilantro

Set oven to high broil. Place hot dogs either directly on rack (perpendicular to the bars so they don't fall through) or on a sheet of tinfoil on top the rack. Cook about 5 minutes, turn hot dogs, and cook another 5 minutes or so until they begin to char a little bit. Remove from oven and place hot dogs in each of the buns.
Top hot dogs with about ¼ cup shredded sweet pork. Drizzle with about ¼ cup tomatillo ranch. Top with chopped cilantro if desired.
