Southwest or Mexican Dog


This Dog was a hit, especially with the skinny crinkle fries. Yes, skinny crinkle fries.  They're not as thick as regular crinkle fries and they bake much crispier than thick or normal fries.  So this dog is great, Allison loved it.  First things first, what kind of hot dog are you using?  If your using the cheap bar-s or some other brand, do not make this dog.  Cheaper does mean bad when it comes to hot dogs.  My personal favorite is Nathans.  They're New York style hot dogs.  They're actually one of the best hot dog stands in the country from what I've heard.  You can use Ballpark or Hebrew Nation too, just not cheap dogs.  Trust me on this.  Okay, so here's how to make this beauty according to Everyday Food:
In a skillet, cook two cups of corn until brown.  Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and 2 sliced scallions whites (I don't know what those are, Allison told me they were like onions, so I used sweet onions.)and cook until tender.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add two tablespoons of mayo (I prefer miracle whip) and two teaspoons of lime juice.  Mix that all together.  Put that mixture on top of your hot dogs.  Then crumble some Cotija or Feta cheese and sliced  scallion greens.  I used feta and didn't worry about the extra onions on top.  Then sprinkle some chili powder on it.  There you go, one awesome hot dog.  It makes about four or five hot dogs depending on the type of bun you use.
I hope you enjoy these lovely dogs.

  2. It even looks good to me, but I'm afraid one of those might put me over my calorie limit for a couple of days!

  3. We are totally hot dog snobs! I hear you on the cheap hot dogs, ick! We love the Hebrew Nation hot dogs. I figure anything that is blessed by a Jewish Priest and then blessed by some common Mormons will be better for me. We'll have to share hot dog recipes. My favorite!
