Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dog With Pico de Gallo

Chef notes

I think hot dogs need more recognition as a year-round food. They're something that can be elevated in a million different ways. This is an extra-spicy elevation.

Technique tip: Start the bacon-wrapped hot dogs seam-side down so the bacon seals onto the dog as it renders. If it curls instead of setting on the first sear, secure it with toothpicks.

Swap option: For a pork-free alternative, substitute beef bacon for traditional bacon and use an all-beef hot dog.
