Hot Dog Of The Week: DIY Tijuanas
As a native Angeleno (or close to it for last 22 years), I take offense to this recipe. Not that it's bad, but for LA Variation of the TJ Dog, it takes the following.
Start with the cheapest all beef wiener, though in a pinch, all meat wiener will suffice.
Wrap in the thinnest but fattiest bacon available. This usually means Oscar Meyer or generic bacon.
Grill on a cookie sheet powered by portable burner. If you do not have a portable burner available, use your gas burner. Save the Bacon Drippings, as it becomes important.
Make Grilled Onions and Bell Peppers in the Bacon Drippings
Top the dog with:
Said Grilled Onions and Peppers in Bacon Drippings
Mayo, Mustard, and Ketchup (though I abhor Ketchup on my dogs). Mayo is a must!
Fried Jalapeno or other spicy pepper, also in Bacon Drippings
And as vendor allows, pickled Jalapenos, Guacamole, Avacado, or what have you.
Avoid:
Sriracha, it has no place in a "traditional" LA Dog.
Use the cheapest, fattiest wieners and bacon for total victory on these.
