Sonoran hot dog
Bacon-wrapped frankfurter with beans, salsa and crema in a soft bolillo
The Sonoran hot dog came north from Hermosillo in Mexico and is now the late-night street food of Tucson, Arizona, sold from carts and small stands called dogueros. A frankfurter is wrapped in bacon (pork) and griddled until crisp, then tucked into a soft, split-top bolillo roll with pinto beans, onion, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard and jalapeño salsa. Chef's tip: wind the bacon tightly in a spiral and start it seam-side down, so it sticks and doesn't unravel.

Method
0/4 doneStep 1: Wrap each of the 4 beef or pork frankfurters tightly in a rasher of 4 thin rashers of streaky bacon in a spiral, tucking in the ends.
4 minStep 2: Cook on a griddle or frying pan over a medium heat, seam-side down first, turning often, for 10–12 minutes until the bacon is crisp all over and the frank is piping hot (160°F). Fry the ½ onion and 4 güero or banana chillies alongside until soft and charred.
12 minStep 3: Warm the 4 soft bolillo or hot dog rolls and split them along the top, not the side, to make a pocket.
2 minStep 4: Spoon in the 7 oz cooked pinto beans, add the hot dog, then top with grilled onion, ½ white onion, 1 tomato, zigzags of 3 tbsp mayonnaise and 2 tbsp yellow mustard, and the 4 tbsp jalapeño salsa. A common mistake is a firm crusty roll; it should be soft and pillowy.

Moist banana bread
The blacker the bananas, the better the loaf. This one is mixed in a single bowl with melted butter and a little brown sugar, so it's soft, deeply banana-y and keeps well for days.
