Ingredients
- 8 all-beef hot dogs
- 8 soft hot dog buns
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F)
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and lime juice
- Lightly oil the grill grates to avoid sticking
- Place hot dogs on the grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally until nicely charred
- Toast the buns for the last 2 minutes on the grill
- Add shredded cheddar cheese on top of each hot dog while still hot, allowing it to melt slightly
- In a separate small bowl, combine red onion, jalapeños, and cilantro as toppings
- Serving each hot dog in a toasted bun, ladle some sriracha mayo sauce over the top and add the prepared toppings
