Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 lbs Ground Chorizo
  • 1.5-2 lbs Sliced Bacon
  • 1 large block Soft Cheese preferably Gouda or Cheddar
  • Hot Dog Buns

Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce:

  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • ¼ cup Buttermilk
  • 2-3 medium Limes juiced
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Cilantro

Toppings:

  • Sliced Jalapeños
  • Diced Red Onions
  • Chopped Cilantro

Instructions

  • Begin by slicing your cheese into long rectangles (about 3” x ½” x ½” but use your best judgment). Next, take about ¼ - ⅓ lb of ground chorizo and encase the cheese inside making a “hot dog” like shape. Make sure to form tightly so that the chorizo does not break while cooking. Once well formed, wrap it in bacon using 3-4 slices. Repeat this until you have as many chorizo dogs as you desire. Once done, place them on a tray and set in the fridge for 45 minutes to set.
  • In another bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce. Set that in the fridge until ready to eat.
  • Preheat your grill to medium high temperature (around 375F) using a two zone cooking method. Preferably a grill with a lid.
  • Add your Chorizo Dogs to the hot side of the grill to sear off the bacon for about 1 minute making sure to rotate so that everything gets crispy. Next, pull all the Chorizo Dogs to the cooler side of the grill and close the lid. Cook for 15-20 more minutes until the chorizo is 165F internal. Pull them off once done to cool for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add your Chorizo Dogs to a hot dog bun and drizzle the Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce over top. Garnish with chopped red onions, chopped cilantro and sliced jalapenos. Serve and enjoy!
