Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each Nathan's hot dog with two slices of center-cut bacon, ensuring the bacon overlaps slightly. Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Bake the Hot Dogs

    Bake the bacon-wrapped hot dogs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the hot dogs are heated through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chorizo Chili

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Chili Dog

    Once the hot dogs are cooked, place each bacon-wrapped hot dog in a bun. Top generously with the cooked chorizo chili, cheddar cheese sauce, and a drizzle of chipotle aioli.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Finely chop the onion and cilantro. Sprinkle the onion and cilantro over the top of each chili dog, followed by a sprinkle of bacon bits. Serve immediately.
