Bacon Wrapped Mexican Hot Dogs

Amanda Castillo's Note:

These are truly the best hot dogs ever and this is the only way I eat my hot dogs. I used to eat these all the time when I would go to Mexico and visit family. They would have little stands in the corner and make them this way. They are great!

Now THIS is a hot dog! We made these for dinner last night, and boy did the flavor of these Mexican dogs exceed my expectations!!! However, instead of wrapping the bacon around the hot dog and cooking it in a skillet, we grilled the hot dogs and cooked the bacon in the oven. We spread each side of the bun with mayo and then simply tucked a slice of bacon between the bun and the dog. We topped it with diced tomatoes, diced onions, fresh CILANTRO, and a spoonful of freshly made pinto beans purchased from a nearby Mexican restaurant. (We did not use ketchup, mustard, or jalapenos.) Delicioso!

We make these a lot at our family BBQ's. Growing up my mom would serve them in Tortillas instead of bread.

These were great, my husband and son liked them also. I put the bacon wrapped weiners in the oven and baked them and they turned out very good. I also used chili beans on top and it made a hearty meal. I couldn't believe that miracle whip tasted so good on a hot dog! The jalapenos and red onion and tomatoe set everthing off. Thanks for making Saturday night hot dogs extra special!
