Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs

Bacon Wrapped ( Mexican Style) Hot Dogs
Not quite Mexican and not quite American, the bacon-wrapped Hot Dog. You will find these Hot Dogs north of the U.S.-Mexican border in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California and some other places as well. It is a specialty of Mexico. In Southern California and in Los Angeles you will find the largest concentration of street vendors servicing them up all hours of the day and night. You can smell one from blocks away (mmm-good). The grilled bacon, twisted around a wiener, is topped with grilled caramelized onions and a mountaintop of diced tomatoes, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. Then one whole grilled green poblano chile is plopped on top. You take a bite and think, This is so good, you wonder if it is illegal!
