Boardwalk Dog
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo, finely chopped, plus 2 teaspoons adobo sauce
- 8 ounces tomatillos (about 3 medium), finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped or torn
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (1 to 2 limes)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed if desired, finely chopped
- 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- One 8.5-ounce box cornbread mix, such as Jiffy
- 1 egg
- Cooking spray, for greasing pan
- 6 all-beef hot dogs, grilled
- 1/2 cup tortilla chips, crushed
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese
- For the chipotle ketchup: Pour the ketchup, vinegar, chipotles and adobo sauce directly into a food processor and run until pureed.
- For the tomatillo relish: Mix together the tomatillos, cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic, jalapenos and onions in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry.
- For the cornbread buns: Mix together the milk, butter, cornbread mix and egg in a medium bowl until combined, and then set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a medium nonstick skillet or cast-iron griddle pan over medium-high heat.
- Spray with cooking spray and spread 1/3 cup of the batter into the heated skillet with the bottom of a spoon or measuring cup, making sure the cornbread bun will be big enough to fit the length of the hot dog.
- Cook the cornbread until you start to see the batter bubble on the top and brown around the edges, about 2 minutes, and then flip and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute longer.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- To serve, place a cornbread bun on a plate and top with the grilled hot dog, Chipotle Ketchup, Tomatillo Relish, crushed tortilla chips and cotija cheese.
- Repeat with the remaining hot dogs.
