Ingredients

• 4 pieces hot dog buns
• 4 pieces spicy beef or pork sausages
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 pieces jalapeño peppers
• 1 medium, sliced thinly red onion
• 4 slices pepper jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 8 pieces pickle slices
• 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium heat.

Step 2

Slice the jalapeño peppers thinly and carefully remove seeds for a milder spice level, if desired.

Step 3

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat and sauté the sliced jalapeños and red onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until well combined. Set aside as your spicy mayo.

Step 5

Butter the inside surfaces of the hot dog buns with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Place them on the grill for 1-2 minutes to toast lightly, then set aside.

Step 6

Grill the sausages on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 7

During the last 1-2 minutes of grilling, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each sausage so it melts slightly.

Step 8

Spread the spicy mayo evenly inside the toasted buns.

Step 9

Place the grilled sausage in the bun and top it with the sautéed jalapeños and onions.

Step 10

Drizzle a bit of hot sauce over each hot dog for extra heat.

Step 11

Add pickle slices and a sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips for crunch.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your fiery 'Hot Hot Dogs'!
