🌭🔥 Sonora Street Dog Bites
These are everything you love about smoky street food — packed into one juicy, bacon-wrapped bite! 🌵🔥 Each one starts with a thick slice of jumbo beef hot dog, wrapped in crispy bacon 🥓 and stuffed with pinto beans 🫘, diced onion 🧅, and serrano 🌶️ for just the right kick. Finished with a sprinkle of basic BBQ rub and crumbled queso fresco 🧀, these little street-style snacks are bold, smoky, and made to impress.

👉 Pro tip: We use this basic BBQ rub to bring it all together with sweet, smoky, and savory flavor. It’s a go-to on just about everything we grill!

🛒 Ingredients:

• 1 lb large beef hot dogs, cut into 1-inch slices 🌭 (Jumbo or bun-length work best for a bigger “cup”)
• Thick-cut bacon, halved 🥓
• 1 cup pinto beans, cooked 🫘
• 1/2 cup fresh onion, finely chopped 🧅
• 1 serrano pepper, finely diced 🌶️ (optional, for heat)
• 2–3 tsp of basic BBQ rub 🧂
• 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco 🧀

🔥 Instructions:

1. Wrap it up: Take each 1-inch slice of large hot dog 🌭 and wrap it with half a slice of thick-cut bacon 🥓 to form a little cup. Secure with a toothpick 🪵.
2. Load the goods: Fill each bacon-wrapped cup with a bit of pinto beans 🫘, chopped onion 🧅, and some diced serrano 🌶️ if you want a little heat.
3. Season: Sprinkle a light coat of your basic BBQ rub 🧂 on each one for bold flavor.
4. Grill time: Place the bites on your smoker or grill at 275°F 🌡️. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the dogs are heated through — about 30–40 minutes ⏲️.
5. Top it off: Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco 🧀.
6. Serve & enjoy: Pull the toothpicks and serve ‘em up hot! These Sonora Street Dog Bites are perfect for tailgates, backyard BBQs, or just snackin’ by the pit 🍻🍴.
