Grilled Street Corn Hot Dogs
The following recipe was created in collaboration with Lauren Schulte of @TheBiteSizePantry.
When the weather is warm and the corn is sweet, it’s the perfect time to get out and grill this dinnertime treat!
If there are two foods my family loves to grill in the summer they are hot dogs and corn. This recipe combines the two by serving fan-favorite Eisenberg beef franks with a zesty Mexican-inspired street corn topping.
The prep is so easy and the end result is guaranteed to be your favorite spin on this staple American summer food!
Grilled Street Corn Hot Dogs
Cook time: 20min Prep time: 5min Total time: 25min
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Eisenberg hot dogs
- 4 Heinen's brioche buns
- 6 ears fresh sweet corn or one bag Heinen’s frozen sweet corn
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
- 2 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
- ½ small red onion, diced
- 2 green onion stalks, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup mayo
- ¾ cup Heinen's crumbled feta cheese or queso fresco
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 Tbsp. Brianna's cilantro lime dressing, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 425˚F and spray the grill grates with Heinen’s avocado oil spray.
- Spritz the ears of corn with avocado oil spray and place them on the grill. Close the hood and let cook for 3 minutes, then flip. Allow to cook for another 3-5 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool.
- Place the hot dogs on the grill. Cook for 5 minutes on each side. Place the buns on the hot grill for the last couple of minutes until toasted.
- Turn off the grill but leave the hot dogs and buns on it to keep warm.
- Once the corn is cool to the touch, shave the kernels off of each cob with a sharp knife.
- Place the kernels in a mixing bowl, add the rest of the ingredients, excluding the hot dogs and buns, and mix well.
- Slice a thin slit long ways in each hotdog. This allows the street corn to get into every bite.
- Place each hot dog in a toasted bun and top with a generous portion of the street corn.
- Drizzle with the cilantro lime dressing and enjoy!
