Love Mexican street corn? Love hot dogs? Meet the Elote Dog—a bold, flavor-packed mashup that’s smoky, creamy, tangy, and totally next-level. It’s everything you didn’t know your hot dog was missing.
1. Cook the Hot Dogs
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Sear hot dogs for about 1 minute per side until browned and plump. Then set aside and keep warm.
2. Make the Elote Topping
Add corn kernels to the same skillet. Cook, stirring them occasionally, for 5 minutes, until they're slightly charred. Then transfer the corn to a bowl and mix in onion, cilantro, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Build Your Elote Dogs
Toast up your buns, and place the seared hot dogs inside. Top with a generous scoop of elote corn mix. Add crumbled cheese, a drizzle of chipotle aioli, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
Then take a bite—and then probably another.
