Ingredients
Scale
- 4 hot dogs (6–8 oz each)
- 4 thin slices of bacon
- Refried beans (optional)
- Pico de gallo
- Sliced avocado
- Pickled jalapeños
- Crema or mayo
- Crumbled cotija cheese
- Hot dog buns
Instructions
- Wrap each hot dog with a single slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick.
- Cook on a medium-high grill at 375–400°F or in a hot cast-iron skillet until bacon is crisp, about 8–12 minutes.
- Alternatively, bake in a 400°F oven for 15–20 minutes, turning once.
- Warm the buns briefly on the grill or in the oven for 30–60 seconds.
- Spread refried beans if using, nestle in the bacon-wrapped dog, and top with pico de gallo, avocado, jalapeños, crema, and cotija.
Notes
To keep the bacon from unwrapping, secure the ends with toothpicks or use metal skewers. For added flavor, toast the buns with butter.
