    Why this Recipe Works

    Have you tried vegan sausage recently? In the last 2 years, the taste and quality of commercial vegan sausages has improved greatly. This means going to a barbecue or summer get-together is easier than ever.

    I always have a package of vegan sausage in my fridge so I can whip these up in less time than it takes meat-eaters to prep their food. This hot dog is so easy to make, perfect for serving a crowd, and it’s vegan and dairy-free.

    A History

    Hot dogs were introduced into Mexico by young American entrepreneurs in 1943. Since then, many adaptations have been born in Mexico, like the Sonoran dog, and this recipe that you are reading right now, which is modeled after what Californians call the TJ dog.

    Ingredients

    on a marble background, mustard, ketchup, sausage, buns, jalapeño, limes, tomato, bacon, and cilantro

    Vegan sausage: Use your favorite vegan sausage for this or you can even make a carrot dog. I used Beyond Meat Sausage, the hot Italian one.

    Primal Kitchen Organic Unsweetened Ketchup: It’s no secret this is my favorite ketchup out there. It’s sweetened with balsamic vinegar and plus it's keto certified, paleo, whole 30 approved, vegan, and gluten-free. If you want to try it, click on the link above and used the discount code DORAPRIMAL at checkout.

    Vegan Bacon: this was a tricky one, traditional Mexican hot dogs are wrapped in bacon, but I found this pretty hard to do with vegan bacon, so instead I cooked it and chopped it into smaller pieces. Use your favorite brand.

    Pickled jalapeños: also known as jalapeños en escabeche are sold in cans in the Mexican section of your grocery store. You can also find them online.

    Expert Tips and Tricks

    Wait to put on your toppings until the last minute or the pico de gallo will make the bun soggy.

    If spiciness is not your thing remove the stems and seeds from the jalapeños before adding them to the pico de gallo.
