Instructions
Preparation
Core and thinly slice bell peppers. Thinly slice onions.
Cut pineapple into small bite-sized pieces.
Wash and dry a few fresh Jalapeño peppers
Wash and dry Cilantro and chop roughly.
For the hot dogs, cut a thin, shallow slit on the hot dog to avoid it from bursting once on the griddle.
Wrap a slice of bacon onto the hot dog. I recommend placing toothpicks on the ends of the bacon, so it stays in place while cooking. IMPORTANT: Make sure to remove the toothpicks when they are done.
How to cook bacon wrapped hot dogs
Preheat griddle. Add fresh jalapeno peppers to the edges of the griddle. Place vegetable oil on the griddle and add peppers and onions. Add a pinch of kosher salt.
Every minute or so, move them around. You want the peppers and onions cooked with a little char only. Total cook time is about 5-8 minutes depending on quantity. Remove from the griddle.
Now add the fresh pineapple. The pineapple should be warmed through and with just a little char. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Place hot dogs on the griddle, one at a time and slowly continue to rotate them so they cook evenly. Typically, it takes about 10 minutes to cook the hot bacon-wrapped hot dogs. Remove toothpicks if you used them.
Once they are completely browned, remove them from the heat and keep warm.
For the hot dog buns, you want to open them up and place them on the bacon grease to toast.
How to assemble and serve the hot dogs
My favorite way of serving the LA-style street dogs is with a slather of mayonnaise on the toasted bun, then I add the bacon-wrapped hot dog, then peppers, onions, a few chunks of pineapple, and a few drops of El Yucateco Hot Sauce.
Add chopped cilantro, avocado, ketchup, and mustard to taste.
