Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 turkey hot dogs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup chopped white onion
- 4 güero chiles or banana peppers
- 4 hot dog buns
- 1 cup cooked pinto beans, warmed up
Toppings:
- Chopped raw white onion
- Chopped tomato
- Jalapeño hot sauce, or salsa of your choice
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise
To Prepare
- On a cutting board, roll one slice of bacon around each hot dog. Place the tip of the hot dog over one end of the bacon slice, then roll the hot dog around and around on the diagonal so that the bacon wraps around it and covers it entirely. If you get to the end of the hot dog and there is still some bacon left, roll back in the other direction until the whole strip of bacon is rolled around the hot dog.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon-wrapped hot dogs and cook, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until crisped and browned on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the vegetable oil and add the 1 cup chopped white onion. Sauté the onion until it softens and becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Scrape into a small bowl and set aside.
- Meanwhile, char the güero chiles on a hot comal or skillet set over medium heat for 3
to 6 minutes. Turn it once or twice, until its skin has lightly charred. Remove from heat.
To assemble:
- Place one bacon-wrapped hot dog in a bun, then spoon on a generous tablespoon of warm pinto beans and about a tablespoon of the cooked onion. Top with some chopped raw onion, chopped tomato, hot sauce or salsa, mustard, and mayonnaise. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and serve each one with a charred güero chile on the side.
Left out the cheese stuffed in the dog.
Tried the recipe, it was a great hit with my family, DELICIOUS!!!!!

Hola que bueno que vinisteis a Tucson Arizona y fuistes a comer huero canelo son los hot dogs mas buenos de Tucson estilo sonora y precisamente el huero canelo es de donde soy yo magdalena de Kino sorora mexico.
😄
Can’t wait to make this on Friday! Will use sriracha sauce and will buy bacon and make half with Turkey bacon for my daughter.!
You guys have fun, Martha!
I’ve had so many of these hot dogs at the original Guero Canelos in Tucson. Every trip to Tucson for years. It’s a must! I have one question though do they really use turkey hot dogs? They are delicious
Yes! I hope you enjoy making them at home, Carmen.
Love Sonoran Hotdogs!
Grew up in a border town 2 hours south from Tucson and we had them all the time…I make them now for my kiddos! ❤️🌵🌞
Hope your kids and you love this version, Angelica!
I love this kind of hotdog. It’s a new kind for me, with slot of my favorite things to eat in it. 👌😁
👍
It looks Delicious Patty😜
Hope you give them a try, Estela!
I can’t wait to try these….I’m wondering about the bun…probably using a regular bun will fall apart…maybe putting a small hoagie bun & crisping it in the oven would hold up better with all those toppings! If it’s too much bread could get those large hotdogs or use 2!!! Oh it looks yum, Pati!!!
A hoagie bun sounds great…enjoy, Pamela!
Absolutely love your shows. Wait for them every Saturday. Great food.
Thank you for tuning in, Bob!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I had my first Sonoran hot dog last year from a little roadside stand in Tucson and it was amazing!
Oh that sounds fun, Christine!
Wow I am going to try this!
Yay!
This is something I`m going to try!
Awesome!
Pati im a big fan! Do you still have your cooking show?
Gracias!
Thank you for tuning in, Debbie! I do still have the show, but your local station may have already gone through the new season. To check if they are showing reruns look here: http://www.tracmedia.com/LOL/PatisMexicanTable2/ or you can find me on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B081P2YKWX/ or YouTube TV.
We have visited Tucson but have not tried this Sonoran hot dog. I can’t wait to try this at home.
Yes! And next time you are in Tucson, give one a try there too, Christine.
YUM!
😄
Can’t wait to see the Tucson episode! So much fun to see the El Guero Canelo Sonoran dog as the featured recipe! Since we split time between Tucson and San Carlos, Sonora, we have the best of both “hot dog” worlds! This dish has become a sort of regional religion, with strong loyalties to everyone’s favorite “Hotdogero!” Thanks, Pati, for showing off Tucson!
Oh I hope you love the episode, Charlie.
Should you always use turkey hot dogs in this recioe?
You can use your favorite type of hot dog, Rhonda.
Gracias
