MEXICAN HOT DOGS



Mexican Hot Dogs image

If you've ever walked through the streets of Los Angeles late at night, you may have been lucky enough to happen upon a street vendor selling bacon-wrapped hot dogs piled high with caramelized onions, sautéed peppers, pico de gallo, avocado, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. This version of Mexican hot dogs, also known as street dogs or Los Angeles hot dogs, is believed to be a riff on a similar recipe that originated in Sonora, Mexico. In Los Angeles, they're sometimes fried on a mobile D.I.Y. griddle made with a wheeled cart, a large sheet pan and a heat source underneath, but we don't recommend trying that at home. For this recipe, a standard sheet pan and an oven will do.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 hot dogs
8 bacon strips
4 jalapeños, stemmed, halved lengthwise and seeds removed (optional)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for drizzling (if needed)
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/2 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
8 hot dog buns
Ketchup, yellow mustard and mayonnaise, for serving
3 plum tomatoes, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 avocado, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Tightly wrap each hot dog with a strip of bacon until most of the hot dog is covered. Transfer hot dogs to an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. If using jalapeños, place them skin-side down on a separate aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and lightly drizzle with oil. Roast jalapeños until skin starts to blister, about 25 minutes. Roast hot dogs until bacon is browned and starts to ripple, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the yellow onion and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown and shrinks by half, about 10 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season to taste with salt. Remove from heat when onions are caramelized and peppers are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Make the pico de gallo with avocado: Combine tomatoes, avocado, red onion, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
  • Toast buns, if desired. Blot excess oil from the hot dogs with a paper towel and transfer to buns. Top with onions, peppers and pico de gallo. Drizzle with ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. Finish with roasted jalapeños, if desired.

SONORAN HOT DOGS WITH BACON, PICO DE GALLO, AND AVOCADO

This Mexican favorite may seem over the top, but the ingredients combine to make a surprisingly addictive dog. The bacon adds smoky flavor, the mayo and pinto beans bring richness, and the salsa and pickled jalapeños provide a tangy, refreshing bite.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the 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 chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
For the hot dogs:
4 hot dogs, or vegetarian substitute, such as Lightlife® Smart Dogs
4 slices bacon, or vegetarian substitute, such as Lightlife® Smart Bacon
4 large hot dog 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)

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.
