What are Mexican Hot Dogs?
These tasty hot dogs can be most commonly found in Mexico City and the streets of Los Angeles. They originate in the capital of the Mexican state of Sonora and may also be called Sonoran dogs.
These dogs can be served in regular hot dog buns or on corn tortillas! The first time that the teenagers tried these we served them in a soft roll but next time we are totally trying them in tortillas.
Let’s start by making a fresh pico de gallo using this classic salsa recipe as a guide. It’s traditionally made with tomato, onion, bell peppers, salt, lime juice, and cilantro.

To make this authentic, it must be served with pinto beans and creama on the bun as well as mayonnaise. This recipe is basically a hot dog with salsa
NEVER had a Sonoran HD that wasn't wrapped in bacon and had mayo on it.
