So, I had a dream… literally. I dreamed about eloté on a hotdog, and when I woke up, I couldn’t not make it happen. And let me tell you — these Eloté Dogs are next-level delicious. Like, dream-about-it-again-and-again kind of good.

We’re talking grilled corn, creamy lime-tajin sauce, crumbled Cotija, tangy pickled onions, juicy cherry tomatoes, and all the street corn flavors you love — loaded on a crispy, buttery hot dog. Basically, the ultimate summer upgrade.

Watch My Reel Below:

🌭 ELOTÉ HOT DOG RECIPE (Serves 8)

✨ The Sauce:

This creamy, zesty, and spicy mix is the glue of the whole dish.

⅓ cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
1 tsp Tajín
1 tsp cumin
Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
1 tsp hot sauce (optional — but I say yes)

Mix well and set aside. It’s also delicious as a dip for chips, just saying.

🌽 The Grilled Corn:

You can use fresh or canned, depending on your grill access and your mood.

4 ears corn, husks removed (or 1 can of corn, drained and grilled in foil)
2 tbsp melted butter
Salt & pepper
⅓ cup chopped cilantro

Grill your corn until slightly charred, brush with melted butter, season, and chop it off the cob.

🧅 Quick Pickled Red Onion:

A super easy, tangy topping that cuts through all the richness.

Thinly sliced red onion
White vinegar
Pinch of sugar + salt

Microwave for 30 seconds in a bowl with vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it sit while you make the rest — it’s ready in minutes.

🍅 The Toppings:

You know the more the merrier:

Grilled bell peppers (any color!)
Cherry tomatoes, halved
Crumbled Cotija cheese
Extra cilantro
Corn from above
That dreamy sauce

🌭 Assembly Time:

Grill your hot dogs and buns until golden.
Spread the lime mayo sauce on each bun.
Add hot dog, then pile on: corn, Cotija, pickled onions, tomatoes, grilled peppers, and fresh cilantro.
Finish with a little more Tajín and an extra drizzle of sauce if you’re feeling wild. (You are.)

🔥 Final Verdict:

These Eloté Dogs are bold, messy, and totally unforgettable. Perfect for cookouts, patio hangs, or whenever your usual hot dog just isn’t doing it for you.

I seriously can’t stop thinking about them — and I hope you give them a try this summer. Tag me if you do so I can drool over yours too. 😍🌶
