Ingredients
Scale
- 8 all-beef hot dogs
- 8 soft hot dog buns (lightly toasted)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or pepper jack for an extra kick)
- ½ cup diced red onions
- ½ cup sliced jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat)

Instructions
- Make the Firecracker Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust the spiciness or sweetness according to your taste preferences.
- Prep the Toppings: Dice the red onions, slice the jalapeños (removing seeds for less heat), shred the cheese, and chop the cilantro.
- Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C).
- Grill the Hot Dogs: Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally for even grilling until they’re heated through and have grill marks.
- Toast the Buns: In the final 2 minutes of grilling, place the buns cut-side down on the grill to lightly toast.
- Assemble the Hot Dogs: Spread the firecracker sauce inside each toasted bun, add the grilled hot dog, then top with shredded cheese, diced onions, sliced jalapeños, and cilantro. Drizzle with extra sauce if desired.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your firecracker hot dogs while hot, with melty cheese and a spicy kick that will leave your guests impressed.
