These hot dogs with avocado were sooooo good. They disappeared in minutes, despite being so heavy you’ll want to grunt when you pick them up to take a bite. They’re just that good. The crispness of the onion is offset by the smooth sour cream and avocado, the citrus kick of fresh lime, and just a slight hint of heat.

Loaded. And Then Some.
These hot dogs with avocado are much, much more than the name implies. They’re loaded. They’re heavy. There’s all sorts of flavors going on. Heat. Creamy. Crunchy. Smooth. Pick an adjective and it’s got it. I love them. This recipe takes a plain old hot dog (or smoked sausage) and really, really up’s the game.
