Mexican Street Corn Dog Nachos

Mexican Street Corn Dog Nachos

It took my family a moment to process what I was making when I told them we’d have Mexican Street Corn Dog Nachos.

They were like… “Wait…what?!”

And then it hit them what they were about to be served and they were instantly intrigued.

Basically everything delicious on Mexican Street corn, but over a bed of mini corn dogs… pretty genius if you ask me.

I’m not even sure how this idea came to me, but everyone in my family is sure glad it did đŸ˜‰

How to make Mexican Street Corn Dog Nachos

These start with frozen mini corn dogs in the air fryer or oven cooked to package directions.

And for the corn, you could use canned corn or grilled corn that has been cut off the cob.

Ingredients for the corn dog Nachos

First Cook 25 to 30 mini corn dogs, I went with the air fryer method.

I did find it took longer in my air fryer than the package directions, so I cooked them longer to ensure proper crispiness.

Then arrange the cooked and crispy mini corn dogs on a plate or platter.

While the corn dogs were cooking I made a sauce to drizzle over top.

In a bowl combine mayo, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, garlic, ground red pepper, and some Tajin seasoning.

Taste for seasoning and add more chili powder, ground red pepper, or Tajin if needed.

Drizzle most of this over the corn dogs, save some for serving as well.

Next top with corn kernels and crumbled cotija cheese.

If you’ve never used cotija, it is very easy to crumble.

Just break off a piece from the block and crumble with your hands.

Finally sprinkle some more chili powder and Tajin over top and add fresh cilantro and sweet pickled red onions.

You could also serve hot sauce, more lime, or jalapenos with your with your Mexican Street Corn Dog Nachos!

Also serve the remaining sauce on the side for anyone who wants more of that deliciousness.
