Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Bread

  • 6 thin slices of bacon
  • 6 all-beef sausages or hot dogs
  • 6 bolillo rolls or soft hot dog buns

Spreads and Sauces

  • 1 cup refried beans
  • Mayonnaise (to taste, optionally mixed with chipotle or lime)
  • Ketchup (to taste)
  • Mustard (to taste)

Fresh Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup jalapeños or pickled jalapeños, sliced
  • 1 avocado or 1/2 cup guacamole
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hot Dogs: Wrap each sausage tightly with a thin slice of bacon. Secure with toothpicks if necessary to prevent the bacon from unraveling during cooking. This bacon wrapping creates the signature crispy and smoky crust.
  2. Cook the Dogs: Grill the bacon-wrapped sausages over medium heat, turning frequently for 10-15 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the sausage is heated through. Alternatively, cook in a hot skillet or bake in the oven if grilling is unavailable.
  3. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the bolillo rolls or buns on the grill or in a toaster oven to add warmth and a slight crunch, preventing sogginess from toppings.
  4. Assemble the Dogs: Spread a generous layer of refried beans inside each toasted roll. Place the cooked bacon-wrapped hot dog on top, then add chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, avocado or guacamole, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
  5. Add Condiments and Serve: Drizzle mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard over the assembled hot dogs according to taste. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime to brighten flavors. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy bacon and creamy toppings.

Notes

  • Use thin bacon slices for optimal crispiness without overcooking the sausage.
  • Slowly grill or pan-fry to ensure bacon crisps perfectly and the sausage stays juicy.
  • Toast bread to add flavor and avoid sogginess from moist toppings.
  • Prep fresh toppings like tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños ahead of time to save assembly time.
  • Adjust condiments and spice levels to suit personal taste preferences and heat tolerance.
