Best 5 Sonoran Style Hot Dog Recipes

SONORAN STYLE HOT DOG

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.
• Combine the cilantro, mayonnaise, hot sauce, lime zest and juice and some salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk until well blended.

AUTHENTIC SONORAN HOT DOGS

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 DOGS

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.

• 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.
