While bacon is cooling, mix mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl.

Depending on the size of the bacon and the hot dog, wrap 1-2 slices around each hot dog securing in place with toothpicks broken in half.
Step 6
Return pan with bacon grease to medium heat. Place hot dogs and halved jalapeños the in pan. Cook, turning frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
While hot dogs are cooking, toast buns under the broiler for a minute or two.
Step 8
Remove toothpicks from hot dogs and place them in the toasted buns with a jalapeño half, a drizzle of creamy mustard, and a few avocado pickles.
