Start with a warm steamed hot dog. Wrap it tightly with thin bacon, seam side down.

Cook the bacon-wrapped dog on a hot griddle until crispy and golden, turning to keep the wrap tight.

Place whole chili peppers on the griddle with a drizzle of neutral oil. Let blister and char, then finish with a squeeze of lime juice.

Add sliced onions to the griddle with a splash of oil. Cook until caramelized and golden brown.

Cut the bolillo rolls, butter lightly, sprinkle with garlic powder, and toast cut-side down until golden.

Warm the pinto beans (use ones in chili sauce for extra flavor).

Build the hot dog: nestle the bacon-wrapped dog in the bun, spoon on pinto beans, add grilled onions, top with diced tomatoes, and sprinkle with raw diced onion.

Finish with drizzles of mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and green jalapeño salsa.

Serve with your blistered chili pepper sidecar.
