Happy July, Everyone! ❤️🤍💙

With America’s 250th birthday approaching, I wanted to create a dish that celebrates tradition while honoring the beautiful mix of cultures that shape our food 🇺🇸

So, here’s my take on a Tex-Mex Hot Dog! 🌶️

Ingredients:
🌭 8 hot dogs (I like uncured 100% beef)
🥖 8 Hawaiian roll buns
🌽 Elote topping: recipe coming Thursday!
🥑 Avocado lime crema (optional)

Hot Dog Marinade / Spice Blend:
🌶️ 1/2 tsp chili powder
🧄 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
🧅 1/2 tbsp onion powder
🌿 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
🧂 pinch of salt
🍋‍🟩 fresh lime juice + zest
🥄 2 tbsp olive oil
✨ Optional: tahin for extra heat

Directions:

1. Slice hot dogs down the center (don’t cut all the way through) to open them up for maximum flavor.
2. Add hot dogs to a bag with olive oil, lime juice, and spices. Shake well and let marinate while you prep.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook hot dogs until golden brown and crispy on the edges 🔥
4. Toast buns, load up the hot dogs, pile on elote, and finish with avocado crema.
5. As always, share with someone you love 💕

Perfect for the 4th of July! Save this for your next cookout ☀️
