Instructions

1
Wrap the bacon around the hot dog and fry on medium high until crispy.
2
Cut the bolillo to create a pocket in the center of the bun, do not slice through the ends. This will help keep the toppings from escaping.
3
Spread the mustard inside the bun.
4
Spoon the refried beans and guacamole into the bun.
5
Sprinkle cheese over the guacamole.
6
Top with the bacon-wrapped dog.
7
Sprinkle with tomato and onion.
8
Top with the salsa verde and the mayo. For more authenticity, use a squeeze bottle for the mayo, applying at an angle over the other toppings.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Wrap the bacon tightly around the hot dog before cooking to ensure it crisps evenly and adheres to the frank.
Toast the bolillo bun lightly on the grill or in a skillet to add texture and prevent it from becoming soggy from the toppings.
Layer refried beans first on the bun as a moisture barrier, then add guacamole, salsa verde, and fresh toppings just before serving.
Seed the tomatoes and dice the onion finely so toppings stay in balance and don't overpower the other flavors.

Substitutions

Mexican cheese blend → Monterey Jack cheese (mild flavor, melts smoothly)
Bolillo bun → bakery-fresh soft hot dog bun (similar texture and structure)
Salsa verde → fresh pico de gallo or lime crema (different flavor profile but complements the toppings)
