It’s no secret I live in Florida. And, being a Floridian (or FlorIDIOT as my Dad likes to say, *eye roll*) we have been seeing a large fluctuation in climate lately. One day it’s rainy, one day it’s in the low 40’s (hey! That’s cold to us, aight?!) and other days it is just GORGEOUS. Like today… jealous? Hehehe, sorry guys I am just loving this! Yesterday started off a little rainy but in the afternoon the sun was shining, birds were chirping! Ahhh, just like I like it! So, I knew I wanted to have an extra special lunch for us today! I ran out to Walmart, it’s super close to my house and I shop there all the time anyways and grabbed everything I needed for a mini Summer cook out! YAY, and here is what I made us for lunch:
Mexican Style Hot Dogs with Spicy Tomato Onion Relish
#CollectiveBias
YUMMY! So, while at Walmart I grabbed everything I needed to make this fun dish including these main items:
All the items are scattered throughout the store but luckily I took pictures for you so you could easily find them yourself! The Hebrew National hot dogs are on the top shelf by all the other hot dogs (if you’re a shorty like me, you will appreciate this information, just sayin’), the Pam is in the baking section, Rotel took me a little while to find, it is in the same aisle as tomato sauce and Hunt’s Ketchup by all the condiments!
See, easy peasy! Now slap on some shorts, your shades, turn that radio to your favorite station and you’re ready to get grilling!
Spicy Tomato Onion Relish
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion cut into 1/4 inch rings, skins removed
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 10 oz can Rotel mild
- 1/4 Cup Cilantro rough chop, packed
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp oregano dried
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- For the Relish:
- Begin by sauteing onions over medium heat in a medium sized pan with the olive oil. Cook until slightly browned and soft. Chop the cilantro. Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add in the Rotel and remaining ingredients. Cook, uncovered on a simmer until liquid is reduced by half.
- Cover and continue simmering for an additional 20 minutes so all the flavors can come together. Serve as a condiment to many dishes!

YUM! These extra fancy hot dogs were a huge hit! And of course I served the Hunt’s ketchup for picky eaters along with my kicked up Rotel sauce!
The cheese addition is just the perfect somethin’ something’ for a gooey, melty Summer cookout! I love how the Rotel already comes with a ton of flavor from the green chiles. I really really love green chiles and the mild is a great light burn, not over the top. I also saw they offer Rotel already seasoned for chili recipes, how cool is that?! I’m going to try adding it next time I make a huge batch of chili.
And the Pam, I mean come on who doesn’t love using this product? It is a MUST for baking but I bet you didn’t know you could use it while grilling too! Now, for beginners I really suggest spraying the Pam onto a clean rag or kitchen towel, using a pair of tongs and brushing this all over the grates. You don’t want those yummy Hebrew National hot dogs sticking now do you?? Speaking of Hebrew National, these hot dogs are really high quality, 100% beef. I like knowing that even though I’m splurging a little on an American staple, they are still made with quality ingredients. Ahh, I love the smell of grilling hot dogs on a Sunny afternoon:
Eeeek, see how gorgeous it is outside?! I loves it!

Yum! That looks delicious! I cannot wait until it warms up here, at least a little so we can start grilling again.
Corina says
These look really tasty. I wouldn’t be able to get some of the same ingredients here but I will just settle for the inspiration and try and make something similar at some point – so much more tasty looking than just a hot dog!

It’s still a bit to early to break out the snow covered grill, but this will definitely be on the menu this summer.

These hot dogs look amazing! When we lived in Tucson we found a great joint about a week before we moved to VA for sonoran hotdogs… needless to say I’ve been craving! I just pinned these and can’t wait to give them a try 🙂
