• Wrap each frank with 1 slice bacon.

Steps:

• Wrap each dog evenly in 1 slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick at both ends and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the bacon and help it adhere.
• Heat a grill or grill pan for medium heat. Grill each side of the hot dogs until the bacon is extra crispy but not burnt. It is import to control the heat to insure the hot dogs get properly warmed through and the bacon does not burn or undercook. Set aside.
• Butter the outsides of the "pocketed" rolls and gently griddle them until just golden brown.
• Layer a schmear of warm refried beans on the bottom of each roll followed by a bacon-wrapped dog. Top with the avocados, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and a squiggly drizzle of Zesty Mayo. Garnish with some cilantro leaves and serve with your favorite hot sauce.

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.

Steps:

• Make the pico de gallo:
• Combine tomato, red onion, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, cayenne, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Cook and assemble the hot dogs:
• Prepare grill for high heat. Wrap each hot dog in 1 bacon slice and grill, turning often, until bacon is cooked through and crisp on all sides, 12-14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice open buns, leaving ends intact. Gently toast in a 350°F oven or on grill until buns are warmed through and lightly crispy.
• Nestle hot dogs into buns. Spoon 1 Tbsp. beans on one side of each dog, then arrange avocado slices and 1 Tbsp. jalapeños on the other side. Spoon pico de gallo over hot dogs, then drizzle with mayonnaise and top evenly with chips and cilantro.

SONORAN HOT DOG

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.

BACON-WRAPPED SONORAN HOT DOGS

Steps:

• For the Jalapeno Salsa: Place the onion in a cast-iron skillet over high heat and cook until slightly charred, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer, making sure the garlic does not burn. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the jalapenos to the hot skillet and cook until the jalapenos are slightly charred, then add the lime juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the oregano and salt and cook until the jalapeños are softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the jalapeno mixture and the onions and garlic to a blender and puree until smooth. If you plan to apply the salsa with a squirt bottle, add a little more lime juice and some water to thin it.
• To Make the Hot Dogs: Slit the top of each bun, cutting into the middle and leaving an inch on each end uncut. If the buns are especially doughy, make a pocket in each by pulling tufts of dough out of the centers. Toast the buns slightly or steam them; Tucson's hot dog vendors do both.
• Take one end of a slice of bacon, hold it against one end of a hot dog, and wrap the bacon around the dog like the stripe on a candy cane. Repeat with the remaining slices of bacon and hot dogs.
• Arrange the bacon-wrapped hot dogs in a small skillet. Cook the hot dogs over medium heat on one side until the bacon is crisp and fused to the dogs. Carefully turn all of the hot dogs over at once and cook the second side until all of the bacon is brown and fused to the hot dogs.
• Place a hot dog in a bun. Add the beans, along with a scattering of onions and tomatoes. Using squirt bottles, if possible, pipe thin lines of mayonnaise across the dog, followed by mustard and the Jalapeno Salsa.
• Repeat with the remaining buns and hot dogs.
