Start by wrapping each hot dog sausage with a strip of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if necessary to keep the bacon in place.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon-wrapped hot dogs, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the sausage is heated through, about 10–12 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan or in the microwave until hot. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice or mash it to your preference.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the hot dog buns in the skillet until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes per side.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans onto the bottom of each toasted bun. Place a bacon-wrapped hot dog on top of the beans.
Drizzle a small amount of mayonnaise over each hot dog. Then, add a spoonful of pico de gallo, slices or a dollop of avocado, and crumbled cotija cheese.
For an extra kick, slice the jalapeño and add a few pieces on top of each hot dog (optional).
Serve the Mexican hot dogs immediately while hot and enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
