Ingredients

For the jalapeño sauce:

  • 4 Jalapeño peppers
  • ½ onion, peeled
  • 1 garlic clove peeled

  • cup

    vegetable oil


For the cooked onions:

  • 1 tablespoon (78 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 cups (256 grams) yellow onion chopped
  • 4 bacon slices
  • 4 beef hot dogs
  • 4 bolillo or hot dog buns
  • 2 cups (366 grams) pinto beans drained
  • 1 large tomato seeds removed and chopped
  • ½ cup (64 grams) raw yellow onion chopped
  • Mayonnaise
  • Yellow mustard

Instructions

Make the jalapeño sauce:

  • Remove the stems from the jalapeños, cut them lengthwise, and remove the seeds and veins (keep the veins if you want a spicier sauce). Add the peppers, onion, and peeled garlic to a saucepan of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Place the lid on slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Cook for 12–15 minutes until the peppers are soft.
  • Drain the vegetables, reserving some of the cooking water, and allow them to cool. Add the mixture to a blender with 1/3 cup of the reserved water. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the oil until the sauce is creamy. Season with salt to taste and set aside.

Cook the onions:

  • Add oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Assemble:

  • Wrap: Lay out a slice of bacon and roll the hot dog into it at an angle. Repeat for all.
  • Cook: Place the hot dogs in a pan over medium heat or on the grill. Cook until the bacon is crisp and fully rendered.
  • Build: Split the buns and spread a layer of jalapeño sauce on the bottom. Add the hot dog and top with pinto beans, diced tomatoes, raw onion, and the cooked onions.
  • Finish with a drizzle of the jalapeño sauce, mayonnaise, and yellow mustard.
