The Sonoran hot dog gets its name from the Mexican state of Sonora, where it was first prepared. It's a grilled sausage wrapped in crispy bacon and served on a toasted bolillo bun, along with other traditional Mexican toppings. Make a Sonoran hot dog by topping the delicious bacon-wrapped sausage with refried beans, sliced tomatoes, avocado slices, red onion, pickled jalapeño rings, hot sauce, and mayonnaise. Any other hot dog bun can be used in place of the Mexican bolillo.

Recipe:

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, the zest and juice of 1 lime; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Wrap each of 8 sausages in 1 slice of bacon; secure with toothpicks and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Grill the sausages over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 12-15 minutes. Split the sides of 8 hot dog buns (or bolillos), brush with butter and grill until golden brown.

Place a spoonful of refried beans on each bun, then top with a bacon-wrapped sausage. Top with diced avocado, plum tomatoes, and red onion, pickled jalapeño rings, and a drizzle of hot mayo. Add cilantro and more hot sauce.
