Treat your ingredients with care...
- Bacon — Choose thick-cut bacon for better flavor and to ensure it stays intact while grilling.
- Jalapeno — Adjust the amount of jalapeno slices according to your desired level of spiciness.
- Avocado — To prevent browning, squeeze some lemon or lime juice over the sliced avocado.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra smoky flavor, grill the hot dogs over charcoal instead of a gas grill.
- Experiment with different types of salsa to find your preferred level of spiciness.
- If you prefer a milder version, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before slicing.
- Customize the toppings to your liking by adding additional ingredients such as pickled jalapenos, guacamole, or sour cream.
- Serve with a side of Mexican street corn or crispy french fries for a complete meal.
Serving advice
Serve the Danger Dogs immediately after assembling to ensure the bacon remains crispy and the cheese is melted. Accompany them with a side of tortilla chips and salsa for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Danger Dogs on a platter, showcasing the vibrant colors of the toppings. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for an added touch of freshness. Serve with a colorful Mexican-themed table setting to enhance the overall presentation.
