Who doesn’t like a hot dog every now and then? Freaks, that’s who. I love hot dogs and this weekend I decided to make a Sonoran Dog. “That sounds foreign.” That’s because it is, stupid. In Arizona, the state that hates on more than 30% of its population, the Mexican illegals came up with this dish as a secret plan so they could stay in our super awesome country and not be deported to shitty Mexico. They know our weakness is disgustingly fatty food so they devised the evil Sonoran Dog in hopes of making us all so morbidly obese we can’t leave our homes to make sure they have the right papers. Too bad their plan backfired. We have Rascals, dumbasses! Let’s begin:
Start by getting your toppings ready. Dice up some onion, jalapeno, tomato (seeded and gutted), and cilantro. The Sonoran Dog has a plethora of variations so you can basically do whatever the fuck you want as long as it is kinda Mexican. This is my ideal version but you might want guacamole or some other shit.
Take some large beef hot dogs and wrap them in bacon. Pull the bacon tight as you wrap and make sure the end seams are on the same side. This is probably the only time I will ever suggest this but get the crappy thin cut bacon. If you use the thick cut it will not hold right and it will take too long to cook. I pan fried mine over medium heat starting with the end seam side down to seal the bacon on the hot dog. Since I only made two I did not fire up the grill but you are more than welcome to. It will work just the same.
The Mexicans use a pocket bread called bolillo but I didn’t feel like driving to Mexico, I mean Hillsboro, to find a Mexican bakery so I just got these hoagie rolls from Freddie’s. Stuff your bacon wrapped hot dog in there and plop down a layer of refried beans (you can also just use whole pinto beans). Add your prepared toppings, give it a spritz of lime, and finish it off with pepper jack cheese. You’re welcome, fatty. Eat it.

I won’t point out all the mistakes in the making of these hot-dogs BUT I do have to say that NO the Sonoran hot-dogs were not invented in Arizona, they were invented in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, my home-town. So, did you like them CA?

Everyone knows that everything good was invented in the US and if anyone says otherwise we can just re-write the history books.
They were awesome! I will totally make them again.

Looks wonderful … I like how you wrapped the hot dogs in bacon.. Do you ship ?
June 28th, 2010at 3:16 am(#)
The bacon wrapped hot dog is the flux capacitor of the Sonoran Dog.
If I did ship it would make you piss out your ass by the time you got it

Those wieners look like fried penis, hahaha… nice, like to try this at home…

I know! It took an amazing amount of restraint not to make a penis joke.

We just made these a few weeks ago after trying the “real” ones in Tucson, and they were just as good. We found the bolillo rolls in the bakery section of our (Seattle-area) Fred Meyer.

Nice. I like the idea of the Sonoran Dog; The possibilities are endless. What variations did you make?
I looked for bolillo in my Freddie’s bakery section and couldn’t find them but I didn’t really expect to. The one by my house sucks compared to others.

Let’s see, we used cotijo cheese, Bush’s chili beans, onions, bacon-wrapped dog, shredded mexican cheese mix, tomatoes and green salsa, laid down pretty much in that order. And topped it off with a thin zigzag of mayo. Yum. Just had lunch but I could go for a dog…

Absolutely wicked (proper word for ‘awesome’) I tried to get a comment on the post where you asked readers what you need to do,but it would not open. Did you fix it? Seriously, a beautiful post, nice pictures, and what you should do is KEEP IT UP. (No double-entendre intended for dirty minded yanks)
Despite what I said to-morrow your site is going to be bookmarked or whatever it is. Since I am going to be 72 soon not many people care how lethal the food I consume is. Go well friend.

Those sound awesome Kelley!
Otto’s is the shit. Love that place.
“despite what I said tomorrow…” uh, okay…

I have been making a variation of this since I was a kid(but I am mexican, so it’s not all that creative of me). No bacon, and no bolillo–everything else, yes, but on a tortilla. Really makes for a terrific starch-to-meat ratio.

I think a hot dog in a tortilla just might be a little too suggestive for me…but then again I stuck mine in some buns.

I have no fucking clue

Yo cook De Pendejo,The Sonoran Dog was popularized in South Tucson’s sidewalks and swap meets.But was invented in Sonora Mexico,ergo the name.Arizonians do not hate 30% of thier population,only 100% of those in Arizona who are not native to Arizona,if Arizona wasn’t “land-locked” they would be thier own nation.McCain would be Supreme Leader.After all they are the only state that had the balls to require,even Obama to be a leagal citizen to travel within its state.Truthfully the only way to really enjoy a true Sonoran dog is to get one made in the Sonoran desert area,but if don’t want to be deported back to Oregon,you better be whiter than white and carry a handgun.

[...] and let’s face it there are moments in our life that need bacon. I have had the recipe for Sonoran Dogs from Cooking for Assholes sitting around since the summer of 2010. I just was beginning my bacon [...]
