The Sonoran hot dog is a dog like no other. It's not topped with mustard and relish, the American dog's good old standbys. It hails from Northwest Mexico (near Sonora (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106366080), to be more exact) and wears a costume closet's worth of hats: It's the perfect post-night-out drunk food and it fills eager stomachs with an assortment of stick-to-your-bones flavors. It caters to virtually every kind of tastebud. So why haven't you had one yet?
The Sonoran hot dog (http://tucson.com/news/local/tucson-experience/you-deserve-a-sonoran-hot-dog/article_f9cf2dc8-0982-11e5-98fe-f32819476c7a.html) is a food that's almost poetic in its design. It's essentially a hot dog that is wrapped in mesquite-smoked bacon, which are cooked together on a grill. The meat is then topped with a host of condiments: grilled onions, jalapeņo salsa, beans, mayonnaise, mustard and cream sauce, in whatever combination the eater desires. It's all sandwiched in a bolillo, a crusty roll typically made in Mexico that's sturdy enough to cradle all of the accoutrements. It's a colorful sight.

Like all great regional foods, the Sonoran hot dog has earned fans outside its home -- particularly north and west, in cities like Tucson, Phoenix and even San Diego (though some argue that Californians (http://munchies.vice.com/articles/how-la-destroyed-mexicos-bacon-wrapped-hot-dogs) have ruined the delicacy).
This recipe from Serious Eats (http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/06/cook-the-book-sonoran-hot-dogs.html) includes refried beans and avocado on the dog, and this version from Foxes Love Lemons (http://foxeslovelemons.com/sonoran-hot-dogs/) mashes the beans until they can be spread along the inner walls of the bun, ensuring a creamy bite in every mouthful.
Depending on who's eating (http://munchies.vice.com/articles/how-la-destroyed-mexicos-bacon-wrapped-hot-dogs), you really can't go wrong with toppings if you stick to the basic Tex-Mex realm of flavors and ingredients. But in slightly off-the-rails versions, the Sonoran hot dog has met (http://munchies.vice.com/articles/how-la-destroyed-mexicos-bacon-wrapped-hot-dogs) mushrooms marinated in soy sauce, nacho cheese, cottage cheese, and even crushed potato chips (though many would argue that this is not, indeed, a real Sonoran).
