Sonoran Hot Dog - Perrito Caliente de Sonora

Sonoran Hot Dog - Perrito Caliente de Sonora

Using store-bought ingredients makes these masterpieces easy to make - accelerating the "time-to-mouth curve." Of course, you can always make your own bolillo rolls, frankfurters, salsa, and mayonnaise sauce if your up for an adventure, but it's not necessary. Either way, you can get the same flavors at home that you can get at 2:00 am on the streets of Tucson.

Instructions

Prep - Completely wrap each dog in bacon. Secure bacon on both ends with toothpicks and place in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Bring beans to a simmer then drain. Dice or slice avocado. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Scoop into a squeeze bottle with nozzle, if you have one. If not, leave in bowl to spoon over everything later. Slit roll along top leaving about ½-inch on either end. Make a pocket or boat on top.
Cook - Add dogs to a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook until bacon becomes crunchy on all sides. Go slowly turning often so insides are cooked before bacon can burn. Lightly toast rolls.
Assemble - Sprinkle cheese along the bottom of the bread. Spread the beans across the bottom and sides of the "boat," and then add diced avocado next. Place a hot dog in the middle. Cover that with salsa, then squirt or drizzle mayo sauce in a zigzag pattern, and finally top with some cilantro.
