Sonoran Hot Dogs
This Sonoran hot dog recipe consists of a bacon-wrapped beef hot dog, homemade pinto beans, a simple sour cream sauce, and fresh pico de gallo. You may think that’s an odd combination of ingredients for a hot dog, but this Sonoran dog may be your new favorite hot dog recipe!
Ingredients
- 5 all-beef hot dogs *We used Nathan's Jumbo Restaurant Style Beef Hot Dogs
- 5 slices bacon
- 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil *Or other high-heat cooking oil
- ½ medium onion sliced
- 1 large jalapeno seeded and cut into thin slices
- pinto beans *We used our homemade pinto beans - Recipe in Notes
- 5 bolillo rolls *Or substitute soft hot dog buns
- pico de gallo
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- juice of ¼ lime
Instructions
- Heat griddle on medium to about 375-400°F. Then, add about 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the hot griddle and spread it around with your spatula.
- Wrap one slice of bacon around each hot dog, angling the bacon slightly and overlapping as you roll. Secure the end of the bacon strip with a toothpick.
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Mix well, and add to a small zip top bag. Snip a small corner of the bag with scissors. Set aside.
- Add the pinto beans to a saucepan. Heat on the griddle until warm, stirring occasionally.
- Place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on the heated griddle and cook on the first side until the bacon is cooked. Then, rotate the hot dogs to the next side and continue to cook until the bacon is cooked on all sides. At the same time, add the sliced peppers and onions to the griddle and sauté until done to your liking.
- When the hot dogs are almost done cooking, split the bolillo rolls or soft hot dog buns lengthwise but don't cut them all the way through (like for a hot dog bun). Lightly toast the rolls on the griddle until warm and golden.
- Assemble the Sonoran Hot Dogs. Place a bacon-wrapped hot dog in each roll. Add sautéed peppers and onions on top. Use a slotted spoon to spoon on the pinto beans. Top with pico de gallo, and a drizzle of the sour cream mayo mixture. Serve immediately.

Notes
- We made our own homemade pinto beans in the slow cooker for this recipe. You can make the beans a day or two in advance, and then reheat the correct amount in a small saucepan on the griddle. Find our pinto bean recipe here: https://theflattopking.com/pinto-beans-in-the-slow-cooker/
- Don't forget to remove the toothpicks from the bacon-wrapped hot dogs once they are done cooking and before assembling the Sonoran Dogs.
- Feel free to customize the toppings for your Sonoran Hot Dogs. Other topping options include: pickled jalapenos, salsa verde, avocado slices or guacamole, Mexican crema, or ketchup and mustard.
- Bolillo rolls are preferred, but if you can't find them in your grocery store's bakery, then you may substitute soft hot dog buns.
