Tightly wrap each hot dog with a strip of bacon until most of the hot dog is covered. Transfer hot dogs to an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. If using jalapenos, place them skin-side down on a separate aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and lightly drizzle with oil. Roast jalapenos until skin starts to blister, about 25 minutes. Roast hot dogs until bacon is browned and starts to ripple, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1 tb oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the yellow onion and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown and shrinks by half, about 10 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season to taste with salt. Remove from heat when onions are caramelized and peppers are soft, about 20 minutes. Make the pico de gallo with avocado: Combine tomatoes, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and set aside. Toast buns, if desired. Blot excess oil from the hot dogs with a paper towel and transfer to buns. Top with onions, peppers, and pico de gallo. Drizzle with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. Finish with roasted jalapenos, if desired. Tip: To make these on the grill, soak 16 toothpicks in water for 5 minutes to prevent burning. Wrap each hot dog with bacon and secure the bacon at each end using a toothpick. Grill over low (be careful of flare-ups!), turning frequently to avoid overcooking, until bacon is browned and crisp.
