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. Ingredients:
4 hot dogs |
4 slices extra thin smoked bacon |
2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese monterey jack cheese or 2 ounces colby cheese, cut into four thin strips |
4 hot dog buns |
sour cream |
avocado, chopped |
hot salsa or mild salsa |
pico de gallo |
canned jalapeno slices (or fresh) |
onion, chopped |
cilantro, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
2. With the tip of a small, sharp knife, make a slit along each hot dog’s entire length, cutting down about two-thirds of the way through its diameter. Evenly place the cheese strips inside the slit in each hot dog.
3. Wrap the bacon in a spiral around each hot dog, then secure the bacon with a toothpick on each side.
4. Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook, turning once, until the bacon is crisp, about 5 - 8 minutes.
5. When the hot dogs are done, remove the toothpicks and place each hot dog into a bun.
6. Garnish with toppings of choice.
