Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 thin-sliced bacon strips
- 8 hot dog buns

- Pico de Gallo
- Pickled Red Onions
- Guacamole
- Mexican crema

Suggested Sonoran Hot Dog Toppings
- Borracho Beans or Frijoles de la Olla

Instructions
- Wrap bacon strips around each hot dog, using a toothpick to keep it in place while cooking, if needed.
- Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-low heat. Add the bacon-wrapped hot dogs and cook, turning frequently until the bacon is browned and crisp on all sides and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Toast buns in skillet or grill.
- Place each bacon-wrapped hot dog in a toasted bun and pile on your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Thin-cut bacon works best because it crisps at the same rate as the hot dogs.
- Grill over medium-low heat to prevent flare-ups and allow the bacon to cook evenly.
- Traditional Sonoran hot dogs are often served on bolillo rolls with beans, tomatoes, onions, jalapeño salsa, mayonnaise, and mustard. Feel free to customize yours with your favorite toppings.
