Sonoran Hot Dog
Sonoran hot dogs trace their origins to the state of Sonora in northern Mexico, where street vendors began crafting a unique twist on the traditional hot dog in the early 20th century. The culinary concept migrated across the border and gained popularity in the southwestern United States, particularly in Arizona. The Arizona version typically features a bacon-wrapped hot dog served in a soft bun and topped with a medley of condiments, creating a flavorful fusion of Mexican and American tastes.
