Instructions:

Prepare the Chorizo Dogs:

1. Slice the soft cheese into long rectangles (approximately 3” x ½” x ½”).
2. Take ¼–⅓ lb of ground chorizo and encase the cheese inside to form a "hot dog" shape. Make sure the chorizo is tightly formed around the cheese to prevent it from breaking.
3. Wrap each chorizo dog with 3-4 slices of bacon, making sure it’s tightly wrapped.
4. Wrap the finished chorizo dogs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

Prepare the Elote Sauce:

1. Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, and lime juice in a bowl.
2. Refrigerate the sauce until ready to serve.

Prepare the Corn:

1. Season the corn on the cob with canola oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Grill the Chorizo Dogs:

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F), using a two-zone cooking method.
2. Place the chorizo dogs on the hot side of the grill and sear the bacon for about 1 minute per side, rotating to ensure all sides get crispy.
3. Move the chorizo dogs to the cooler side of the grill and close the lid. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the chorizo reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
4. Let the chorizo dogs cool for 2-3 minutes once done.

Grill the Corn:

1. Grill the seasoned corn on the cob over high heat for 6-8 minutes, turning until fully cooked and slightly charred.
2. Remove the corn from the grill and slice off the kernels from the cob.

Assemble and Serve:

1. Place each chorizo dog into a hot dog bun.
2. Top with grilled corn, a drizzle of Elote Sauce, chopped red onions, chopped cilantro, cotija cheese, and a dusting of chile con limon seasoning.
3. Serve and enjoy!
