Take your next backyard BBQ south of the border with our tequila-infused hot dogs, topped with Mexican-style elote street corn. Elote is a popular Mexican street food where cobs of corn are grilled until charred, then slathered in a creamy mixture of mayo, lime juice, seasonings, and crumbled cotija cheese. Cotija is a salty, crumbly Mexican white cheese similar to feta, and it adds the perfect savory finish. The smoky-sweet corn and tangy crema make the perfect topping for our tequila-kissed hot dogs—every bite is a balanced mix of creamy, spicy, and fresh that pairs beautifully with the bold flavor of the dog. Finish with a crunchy handful of crushed tortilla chips and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for texture and brightness. No summer BBQ is complete without seasonal sweet corn—and this is a delicious way to bring together two cookout favorites.
