How to make Mexican hot dogs
If you’ve ever wondered how to make Mexican hot dogs, it’s really simple. We love to make them on the grill in the summer. Grilling them gives them a nice charred look and taste. Here’s how to make them in a few easy steps:
Avocado oil – or another neutral-flavored cooking oil. Onions – sliced thin. Cumin + oregano – Mexican spices that go so well with onions.
Here’s everything you’ll need to make the elote mayonnaise:
Mayonnaise – a neutral-flavored mayo will work the best. Cojita cheese – feta makes a nice substitute. Elote seasoning – we use our homemade elote seasoning to make the mayo; it only takes about 5 minutes to make (see note in the recipe card below)
This is what you’ll need for the Mexican hot dogs:
Hot dogs – use your favorite kind. Hot dog buns – we love brioche buns! Corn – fresh, frozen, or canned. Pickled jalapeños – try tamed jalapeños if you’re sensitive to heat.
Grilled bell peppers Sliced avocado or guacamole Pico de gallo Cooked bacon Pinto or black beans Grilled pineapple Shredded cabbage Lime wedges Cilantro Hot sauce
Serve them on a big platter at your next fiesta with our easy sweet potato nachos, Mexican pasta salad, or chili lime grilled corn on the cob for a delicious Mexican-inspired menu. Don’t forget to wash them down with one of our ultra-refreshing summer drinks like our fresh pineapple margarita, or pink lemonade margarita, or a rhubarb margarita.
