Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Cheese-Stuffed Tex-Mex Hot Dogs
The title's a mouthful, but this one turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. I highly recommend the avocado as one of the toppings. Take note of the thin sliced bacon. It's conducive to a crispier bacon wrapping.

- Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook, turning once, until the bacon is crisp, about 5 - 8 minutes.
