Sonoran Hotdogs with Bacon, Pico de Gallo & Avocado

By ltrodrigu

These aren't your average dogs: hot dogs wrapped in bacon (!), topped with pinto beans, avocado slices, chips, mayo, chips, and cilantro.

Ingredients

• PICO DE GALLO:
• 1 medium tomato, seeded, diced, about 1/4 cup
• 1/2 medium red onion, diced
• 1/2 garlic clove, minced
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• HOTDOGS:
• 4 hot dogs
• 4 slices bacon
• 4 large hotdog buns or torpedo rolls, preferably not split
• 1/4 cup canned pinto beans
• 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup pickled jalapeño slices
• Mayonnaise for serving
• 1/2 cup potato chips, loosely crushed
• Sprigs of cilantro for serving

Preparation

Step 1

PICO DE GALLO:
Combine tomato, red onion, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, cayenne, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

HOTDOGS:
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.

Warm pinto beans in a small saucepan on the stove or grill.

Nestle hot dogs into buns. Spoon 1 tablespoon beans on one side of each dog, then arrange avocado slices and 1 tablespoon jalapeños on the other side. Drizzle mayonnaise over hot dogs and top evenly with chips and cilantro.
