Mexican Hot Dogs with Chipotle Cream
These grilled hot dogs are topped with an avocado corn salsa and a Greek yogurt chipotle drizzle!
I’m writing this post to you on Friday morning as I will be at Camp Blogaway all weekend with no wifi. Yeah, it’s pretty concerning. I mean, in 2013, you’d think that there would be cell service or internet service out in the woods! I told Jason about it and he said that the point of disconnect from the outside world no wifi is to get away from it all. Except I’ll be the one hyperventilating, not being able to get any work done and having to deal with, well, nature and the woods.
I’ll let you know if I make it.
Now these hot dogs.
Memorial day weekend = BBQ and of course, hot dogs, right? That’s where these mexican dogs come in. Topped with avocado corn salsa and drizzled with chipotle cream, you’ll be sure to want seconds, and maybe even fourths like Jason did. Yeah, 4 hot dogs and he doesn’t gain any weight. He might have even lost half a pound. But that’s another story.
You can lighten up these dogs using turkey sausages, whole wheat buns and substituting Greek yogurt for the chipotle cream. Or you can go all out. Either way, this is a hot dog that needs to make your Memorial Day BBQ menu!

Hi! In the instructions for this recipe, it says “In a large bowl, combine corn, jalapeño, red onion cilantro, lime juice, sugar and salt. Stir in avocado; set aside.”, but it doesn’t say how much sugar or jalapeños to use in the ingredients section. Could you please let me know how much to use?
Ashley, thank you for pointing that out. The recipe has been updated.
