Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring a few times. Reduce the heat to medium-low, stir in the cumin and oregano and cook for 5 minutes more.
- While the onions are cooking, make the rest of the recipe. Combine the mayonnaise, cojita cheese, and elote seasoning in a small bowl.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high. Put the hot dogs on the grill and cook them until they are slightly charred and fully cooked. If you'd like, warm the buns on the grill.
- To assemble the Mexican hot dogs, slather the buns with some elote mayonnaise then fill them with the caramelized onions, a hot dog, some corn, and pickled jalapeños.
Notes
- We use our homemade elote seasoning to make the mayo; it only takes about 5 minutes to make. If you'd prefer, you can use these spices instead:
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon coconut sugar
- A squeeze of lime juice
