Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 pieces all-beef hot dogs for savory flavor
- 8 pieces soft hot dog buns lightly toasted for warmth and texture
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise for creaminess
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce for heat
- 1 tablespoon honey for a hint of sweetness
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for depth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder for aroma
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice for brightness
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese or pepper jack for creaminess and flavor
- 1/2 cup diced red onions for crunch
- 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños optional, for additional heat

Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by preparing the hot dogs. Place them in a large skillet over medium heat. Use a spatula to turn them occasionally, ensuring they cook thoroughly on all sides.
- While the hot dogs are cooking, take the lightly toasted hot dog buns and set them on a serving platter.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and fresh lime juice. Stir until smooth.
Assembly
- Once the hot dogs are ready, carefully place each one into the toasted bun.
- Drizzle the prepared sauce generously over each hot dog.
- Top the sauced hot dogs with shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onions, and optional sliced jalapeños.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
Notes
For room-temperature storage, keep leftover hot dogs and sauce in a covered container for up to two hours. In the fridge, they should be stored in an airtight container for up to three days. When reheating, gently warm them in the microwave or a skillet on low heat to retain texture.
