Sausages & Hot Dogs

Discover the Sonoran Hot Dog, a hidden gem in the world of hot dogs that deserves a moment in the spotlight. This savory delight hails from the streets of Sonora, Mexico, and offers a unique twist on the classic American hot dog. Wrapped in crispy bacon and tucked inside a fluffy bolillo roll, the Sonoran hot dog strikes a perfect balance between salty and smoky flavors. Top it off with fresh Pico de Gallo, creamy mayonnaise, and a drizzle of mustard for a flavor explosion that'll keep you craving more. Why settle for a regular hot dog when you can indulge in this delicious and often overlooked creation?

Ingredients

  • 1 pack of American Wagyu Hot Dogs
  • 5 Bolillo style buns or large sausage buns
  • 5 slices of Kurobuta Bacon
  • 1/2 can of pinto beans, rinsed
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 1 Roma tomato, chopped
  • mustard, ketchup, mayo and hot sauce (like Cholula)
  • 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
  • 3 to 5 jalapeño peppers

Directions

  1. Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Wrap each hot dog with a slice of bacon starting at one end and overlapping/securing with toothpicks.
  3. Add olive oil to the skillet then onions to one side and the whole jalapeños on the other.
  4. Rotate the peppers until blistered on all sides and cook onions until browned.
  5. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet add the bacon-wrapped hot dogs and cook by rotating until the bacon is cooked all around.
  7. Slice the buns in half and insert bacon-wrapped hot dogs. Slather with mayo, chopped tomatoes, grilled onions, pinto beans, and then ketchup, yellow mustard, and hot sauce to hold the loose toppings in place.
  8. Serve with blistered jalapeños and your favorite chips and guacamole.
