Steps:
- Start placing the edge of the bacon on the top of the hot dog and wrap it by overlapping the bacon while going down. This will keep the bacon from opening while you cook it.
- At the bottom of the hot dog, using your finger, tuck in the end of the bacon inside of the bacon itself to secure that edge. If this fails, then you can secure it with a toothpick until you get better at this.
- Cook the onions and hot dogs in a large skillet. Keep rotating the hot dogs until all sides are evenly crispy.
- Right before assembling the hot dog, steam the bun by loosely wrapping them in paper towels (or large ziplock bag) and microwave them for about 7 to 10 seconds. Just enough to get them soft & warm.
- Place the hot dog in the bun.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of cooked or raw onions.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of chopped tomato.
- Spread some mayonnaise a over the tomatoes and press lightly to blend the tomatoes with the mayo. Add mustard, ketchup & hot sauce if you like.

SONORAN HOT DOG RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Wrap each hot dog with a slice of bacon so that entire hot dog is covered in bacon. Secure with a toothpick and place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet on top of the stove to medium heat. Remove toothpick from hot dogs. Add the bacon-wrapped hot dogs to the grill pan. Cover hot dogs with a lid. Rotate hot dogs frequently until bacon is crisp and hot dog is warmed through, about 15 minutes.

- Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise , lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Cut a pocket into the center of each of the rolls, if necessary.
- Remove the hot dogs to a plate. Wipe off any excess bacon fat from the grill pan. Butter the outside of rolls, add to the grill pan, and toast until light golden brown.
- Flip the rolls over and cook cut-side down, opened slightly to ensure the inside of roll crisps. Cook until golden brown.
- Warm beans in microwave or a small pot until steaming. Spread a few tablespoons of refried beans into bottom of each roll.
- Add hot dog into roll and top with diced avocado, tomato, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and a drizzle of the cilantro-lime crema. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Wrap each hot dog in a slice of bacon from end to end diagonally until the whole strip of bacon is rolled around the hot dog, securing with a toothpick if needed.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon-wrapped hot dogs and cook, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until browned on all sides. Transfer the skillet to the oven to render the bacon a bit more, about 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks, if used.
- In a cast-iron skillet, heat the vegetable oil and add the diced white onion. Saute until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and add to a small mixing bowl with the sliced raw onion. Set aside.
- Place one bacon-wrapped hot dog in a bun. Evenly divide the warm pinto beans, jalapenos, tomatoes and the onion mixture. Top with the hot sauce, mustard and mayonnaise. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and serve hot.

SONORAN HOT DOG
There are different variations of this served throughout the southwest. It calls for a bolillo, which is a mexican-style bun. If you're unable to locate these you could substitute it with a bakery-fresh, soft, hot dog bun. You could also use Montery Jack cheese in place of the shredded Mexican cheese if needed.

Steps:
- Wrap the bacon around the hot dog and fry on medium high until crispy.
- Cut the bolillo to create a pocket in the center of the bun, do not slice through the ends. This will help keep the toppings from escaping.
- Spread the mustard inside the bun.
- Spoon the refried beans and guacamole into the bun.
- Sprinkle cheese over the guacamole.
- Top with the bacon-wrapped dog.
- Sprinkle with tomato and onion.
- Top with the salsa verde and the mayo. For more authenticity, use a squeeze bottle for the mayo, applying at an angle over the other toppings.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your hot dogs will taste. Look for fresh, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overcook the hot dogs. Hot dogs are best when they are cooked just until they are heated through. Overcooking them will make them tough and dry.
- Get creative with your toppings. There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for Sonoran-style hot dogs. Some popular options include:
- Grilled onions
- Chopped tomatoes
- Sauerkraut
- Pickles
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
- Salsa
- Guacamole
- Sour cream
- Serve your hot dogs hot. Hot dogs are best served hot off the grill. If you're making them ahead of time, you can keep them warm in a slow cooker on the lowest setting.
Conclusion:
Sonoran-style hot dogs are a delicious and unique twist on the classic American hot dog. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Sonoran-style hot dogs a try. You won't be disappointed!
