Print Recipe

Delicious hot dogs topped with a spicy and creamy Firecracker Sauce, perfect for summer gatherings.

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)
  • ½ cup diced red onions
  • ½ cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Make the Firecracker Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice until smooth. Adjust sriracha or honey to taste.
  2. Prep the Toppings: Dice red onions, slice jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), shred cheese, and roughly chop cilantro. Set aside.
  3. Heat the Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a grill pan, heat over medium-high on the stove.
  4. Grill the Hot Dogs: Place hot dogs on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally for even char and snap without burning.
  5. Toast the Buns: During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place buns cut-side down on the grill to lightly toast and warm.
  6. Assemble the Hot Dogs: Spread firecracker sauce inside each bun, add a grilled hot dog, then top with shredded cheese, diced onions, jalapeños, and cilantro. Drizzle extra sauce if desired.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy hot off the grill while cheese is melty and sauce is vibrant.

Notes

Adjust the heat level of the Firecracker Sauce by adding more or less sriracha according to your preference. Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers.
