Ingredients
8 all-beef hot dogs
8 soft hot dog buns
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons lime juice
Red onions, diced
Jalapeño slices
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cilantro, chopped
Avocado, sliced (optional)
Vegetable oil (grill oil)
Instructions
Whisk mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, paprika, garlic powder, and lime juice until fully combined
Taste test the sauce and add additional spices as desired
Dice red onions and slice jalapeños into thin rings
Grate cheddar cheese and chop fresh cilantro
Preheat grill to 400°F for even grilling and texture
Grill hot dogs for 5–7 minutes, turning frequently to charr evenly and prevent burning
During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place buns cut side down under the hot dogs for toasting
Assemble hot dogs with 4–5 tablespoons of the firecracker sauce
Layer toppings: shredded cheese, diced onions, jalapeño slices, and cilantro
Drizzle extra sauce over the assembled hot dogs before serving
Notes
Brush grill grates with oil before preheating to prevent sticking
For thicker buns, toast 80% and insert hot dogs before finishing
Use avocado slices to add creamy texture and balance spice
Avoid overgrilling hot dogs to maintain juiciness
Substitute cheddar with dairy-free cheese if needed
