Method
 

Guacamole
  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed and the skin. Put the green part in a big bowl, add lime juice and salt, and mash it up.
  2. Add the serrano pepper, onion, garlic, and cilantro. Mix until homogenous. Taste, add more salt if necessary. Cover and leave out while finishing the rest of the recipe.

Chirmol
  1. Heat up a skillet on medium heat with no liquid. Add your tomatoes, and let them char, about 5 minutes. Then, turn them to a second side and char on that side, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add to another bowl, and mash the tomatoes.

  2. To the mashed tomatoes, add serrano peppers, lemon juice, mint, and salt to taste. If more acidity is desired, add vinegar or more lemon juice.
Finishing Touches
  1. Heat up a skillet on medium heat. Add your hot dogs, char on each side, about a minute or 2 per side. Remove from heat.
  2. Add tortillas to the skillet, toast on both sides briefly, about 10-15 seconds each.
  3. Put the wiener in the middle of the tortilla. Guac on one side, cabbage on the other. Add as much chirmol as you like on top of the wiener, then sprinkle queso fresco on top of that. Finish with mustard.
