Ingredients 

  • 6 large hot dogs (a.k.a. salchichas)
  • ½ cup bacon (cut into small pieces)
  • 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 serrano or jalapeno peppers (chopped, read notes)
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon Maggi sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring often, until slightly crispy.
  • Add chilies and onion to the pan. Cook until the veggies are softened.
  • Stir in the hot dogs and cook for one minute.
  • Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Magi sauce, and season with chicken buoillon, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes or until there's a nice, thick sauce.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, Mexican rice, and tortillas.

Notes

  • If you want it milder, use jalapeños instead of serranos — or skip the chilies altogether.
  • You can swap Maggi sauce for a splash of soy sauce if that’s what you have on hand.
  • Add diced potatoes or bell peppers to make the dish heartier (they soak up the sauce beautifully).
  • Don’t skip the bacon — it adds a smoky base flavor that makes the sauce irresistible.
  • Let the salchichas mixture cool completely before storing.
  • Keep it in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days in the fridge, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm it up in a pan with a splash of water or chicken stock.
  • These salchichas are perfect for tacos, gorditas, or even stuffed into a crusty bolillo roll — so make a double batch while you’re at it!
