Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocado — Choose a ripe avocado that is slightly soft to the touch. To prevent browning, squeeze some lemon or lime juice over the mashed avocado.
• Onions — Thinly slice the onions for a better texture when sautéing. Cook them over medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy.
• Tomatoes — Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Remove the seeds before chopping to avoid excess moisture in the topping.
• Hot dog buns — Toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster for a slightly crispy texture.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of heat, add a few slices of pickled jalapeños to the loaded hot dogs.
• Experiment with different types of sausages, such as chorizo or chicken sausage, for a unique twist on the dish.
• If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the avocado mash.
• Customize the toppings to your liking by adding shredded cheese, chopped bacon, or even a fried egg.
• Serve the loaded hot dogs with a side of crispy French fries for a complete meal.
