Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 pieces beef or pork hot dogs
- 2 pieces jalapeños, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle to medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and smoked paprika to create a spicy aioli. Set aside.
Slice the jalapeños thinly and chop the cilantro. Dice the red onion finely.
Butter the inside of each hot dog bun lightly and set aside.
Place the hot dogs on the grill or griddle, turning occasionally, until evenly cooked and lightly charred, about 6-8 minutes.
While the hot dogs cook, toast the buttered buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Place each cooked hot dog into a toasted bun.
Top each hot dog with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeños, diced red onion, and a drizzle of the spicy aioli.
Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, and fresh cilantro over each hot dog.
