Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Hot Dogs:

  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4 beef hot dogs
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup refried beans (optional)

Toppings:

 

  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo (tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice)
  • 1/2 avocado, diced or mashed
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or shredded Mexican blend cheese)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  • Wrap the Hot Dogs: Tightly wrap each hot dog with a slice of bacon. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  • Cook the Hot Dogs: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon-wrapped hot dogs, turning frequently, until the bacon is crispy and fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Warm the Buns: Toast the buns in the skillet or oven until slightly golden.
  • Prepare the Toppings: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, crema, and hot sauce. Set aside.
  • Assemble the Hot Dogs: Spread refried beans on each bun (if using), place a bacon-wrapped hot dog inside, and top with pico de gallo, avocado, jalapeños, cotija cheese, and cilantro.

 

  • Drizzle & Serve: Drizzle with the mayo sauce, squeeze fresh lime juice on top, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Swap cotija cheese for queso fresco or shredded cheddar if needed.
  • Add pickled jalapeños for extra heat.

 

  • Grill the hot dogs instead of pan-frying for a smoky flavor.
