    Sonoran Hot dogs are wrapped in bacon and loaded with lots of toppings for a unique spin on your typical hot dog.

    This popular Mexican hot dog is customizable with different Mexican inspired toppings, making it perfect for a-build-your own sonoran dog.

    These hot dogs are a hit for cookouts and family gatherings since everyone can choose what toppings they want.

    How to make a Sonoran Hot Dog

    It’s pretty easy and requires just wrapping a piece of bacon around a hot dog link. If you are making these for a party, you can wrap all the hot dogs and keep them refrigerated until ready to grill.

    I actually recommend putting them in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up before grilling. 

    When you grill the hot dogs, be sure to cook with the seam side down to prevent the bacon from unraveling. Grill Hot dogs over indirect heat to warm the links and then place over direct heat to crisp up the bacon. 

    The Toppings

    This is where the magic happens! Get as creative as you like with the toppings, but I’ll go over some of the basics plus options.

    Diced tomatoes- Or you can use a store bought pico de gallo.

    Chopped White Onion- Or you can do grilled sliced onions for even more flavor.

    Pinto Beans- Or buttery Peruvian Beans

    Sliced Avocado- Or Guacamole

    Mexican Crema- Or sour cream. Sometimes you'll see mayonnaise too.

    Ketchup- Not many substitutes for ketchup, but you can do a flavored ketchup.

    Pickled Jalapenos- Or pickled onions for less spice.

    I know this may seem like overkill for a hot dog, but trust me it goes so well together. My tip is to prep all the toppings ahead of time and have them ready before grilling the hot dogs.

    The Buns

    With all these toppings, you need a strong vessel to hold everything together. In Mexico they use soft bolillo rolls. You can sometimes find them in Mexican markets, otherwise try using a premium hot dog bun that is sturdy. 

    Warm them up on the grill slightly just before serving to get them nice and warm.
