Danger dog consists of a bacon-wrapped sausage that is grilled until crispy, then stuffed into a bolillo roll and topped with a variety of ingredients such as beans, tomatoes, onions, jalapeño salsa, mayonnaise, and mustard.

This unique variety of hot dog originated in Hermosillo in the 1980s, and were sold from the street carts by the vendors called dogueros. This behemoth of a hot dog is traditionally served with a roasted chile güero on the side. Today, apart from Mexico, danger dog is also extremely popular in the United States, especially in Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona.
