This Tucson street-food classic wraps all-beef hot dogs in bacon, griddles them until crisp, then nestles them into split-top bolillo-style buns with a layer of warm pinto beans. Topped with diced tomato, onion, a drizzle of mayonnaise and mustard, and a spoonful of salsa, it is a messy, satisfying handheld meal perfect for backyard gatherings or a weekend lunch.
Ingredients
- 4 all-beef hot dogs
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 bolillo rolls or hot dog buns, split
- 1 can pinto beans, drained and lightly mashed
- 1/4 cup white onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup tomato, finely diced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 jalapeños, pickled or fresh sliced, to taste
Method
-
Wrap each hot dog tightly with a slice of bacon, securing the ends by tucking them under or pinning with a toothpick.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon-wrapped hot dogs, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crisp on all sides, about 10 minutes.
-
While the hot dogs cook, warm the mashed pinto beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
-
Lightly toast the split buns in a dry skillet or under a broiler until golden, about 2 minutes.
-
Spread a layer of warm pinto beans inside each toasted bun.
-
Nestle a bacon-wrapped hot dog into each bun on top of the beans.
-
Top each hot dog with diced tomato, diced onion, and jalapeños to taste.
-
Drizzle each hot dog with mayonnaise and mustard, then spoon salsa over the top before serving immediately.
