1

Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for Mexican hot dogs (perrocaliente).

2

Use Oscar Mayer hot dogs or another brand if preferred.

3

Wrap each hot dog with hickory smoked bacon, securing as needed.

4

Preheat a skillet and place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs in it without adding oil, as the bacon will create its own grease.

5

Cook the hot dogs, turning frequently to avoid burning, until crispy all around.

6

Chop one white onion, two roma tomatoes, and one and a half ripe avocados, ensuring the avocado holds its shape but is soft enough to eat.

7

Chop about half a bunch of cilantro and squeeze the juice of one lime into a bowl with the chopped ingredients.

8

Add salt and pepper to taste (about a quarter teaspoon each) and mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.

9

Set the avocado mixture aside and flip the hot dogs in the skillet as they cook.

10

Remove the hot dogs when they are crispy and cooked through, draining excess grease from the skillet.

11

Toast hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, ensuring they don't soak up too much grease.

12

Add shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or mozzarella) to the toasted buns and let it melt slightly.

13

Place the cooked ham on the buns just to heat it up, then flip the buns to help melt the cheese.

14

Once the cheese is melted, place the bacon-wrapped hot dogs on the buns.

15

Spread mayonnaise on the buns, then add ketchup and mustard to taste.

16

Top with the avocado mixture, ensuring it covers the hot dogs.

17

Add canned jalapeños on top as a finishing touch.

18

Present the finished Mexican hot dogs and encourage viewers to try the recipe.
