Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle over medium heat.
Place the frankfurter sausages on the grill or griddle and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and slightly browned.
While the sausages are cooking, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper, and mix until smooth to create guacamole.
Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until warm and slightly crisp.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each bun.
Place one cooked frankfurter sausage into each bun.
Top each sausage with 2 tablespoons of guacamole, followed by a drizzle of hot sauce.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each frankfurter.
Add diced tomatoes and pickled jalapeños as toppings, distributing them evenly across all buns.
Garnish each Mexican Frankfurter with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an additional burst of flavor.
