• Pinto Beans
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Sonoran Hot Dogs

1. **Make the Jalapeño Salsa:** In a cast-iron skillet over high heat, cook the sliced onion until slightly charred, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, ensuring it doesn't burn.
3. Remove the onion and garlic from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the chopped jalapeños to the hot skillet. Cook until the jalapeños are slightly charred.
5. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, oregano, and salt. Cook until the jalapeños are softened, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Transfer the jalapeño mixture, along with the cooked onion and garlic, to a blender. Puree until smooth. Add a little lime juice and water if needed to thin for easy squirting.
7. **Prepare the Hot Dogs:** Gently slit the top of each bun lengthwise, leaving about an inch uncut at each end. If the buns are very doughy, create a pocket by pulling out small pieces of dough from the center.
8. Lightly toast or steam the buns.
9. **Wrap the Hot Dogs:** Take one end of a bacon slice, hold it against one end of a hot dog, and wrap the bacon around the hot dog, like a candy cane stripe.
10. Repeat with remaining bacon and hot dogs.
11. **Cook the Hot Dogs:** Arrange the bacon-wrapped hot dogs in a small cast-iron skillet. Cook over medium heat until the bacon is crisp and the hot dogs are heated through, about 8-10 minutes per side, flipping carefully.
12. **Assemble the Sonoran Hot Dogs:** Place a cooked hot dog in a bun. Add the warmed pinto beans, along with the chopped white onion and diced tomatoes.
13. **Add the Sauces:** Use squirt bottles (optional, but fun!) to drizzle thin lines of mayonnaise, mustard, and jalapeño salsa over the hot dog.
14. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and buns. Serve immediately and enjoy the fiery fiesta of flavors!
