Sonoran Hot Dog

Last week I took a day to eat meat and try my luck at making Sonoran dogs. I've talked about these delights before, but here is a diagram that can best explain what is included in one of these treats:

I bought some Hebrew National hot dogs and wrapped turkey bacon around them because we had some on hand. Instead of pinto, I used black beans. The mayo is actually chipotle mayo, which is mighty tasty. This was a fair attempt, but I'll need to work at it a little more before I can share an exact recipe.

eat your heart out thursday - morenos

do you remember how i raved about the sonoran hot dog from my trip to tucson? i found a resturant that sells them in the valley!!! before going to the temple lights, we all had dinner at moreno's in tempe. amazing! i'm convinced that everyone needs to eat one. and i commit to treat, or at least offer, any out of town visitor to a sonoran hot dog via moreno's. i want one now.


they have amazing caramelos, too. i am a mexican food junky and i don't care who knows it.

eat your heart out thursday - el guero canelo

while in tucson, we ate a fantastic mexican food place. el guero canelo is known for their hot dogs wrapped in bacon smothered in all things fantastic - like an amazing taco hot dog. they offer other things like actual tacos and amazing quesadillas. most items are served with the bare basics - meat and maybe one topping. any other desired toppings are available at a salad bar. i love that part of el guero canelo because i enjoy piling on as much pico de gallo as possible. i cannot say enough how good the food tastes. originally husband and i just ordered a hot dog and tacos, but after consuming those pretty quickly i insisted that we share a large quesadilla. i tend to over eat when we are at yummy resturants that we rarely visit, especially when a doggy bag is not an option. i feel the need to pack in the great food to tide me over until the next time i am able to eat the food again. el guero canelo definitely had me feeling the need to pack in the good stuff. i hope to find something in the phoenix area that can rival it, but until then i will dream about tacos piled to the sky with pico de gallo.
