Ingredients
  

For the Hot Dogs
  • 4 pieces Hot Dogs Juicy and bursting with flavor; consider spicy sausages for more kick.
  • 4 pieces Hamburger Buns Soft and sturdy; consider pretzel buns for a twist.
For the Spicy Slaw
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Use store-bought for convenience.
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha Adjust based on preferred spice level.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice Fresh is best.
  • 3 cups Shredded Cabbage Substitute with a ready-made coleslaw mix if desired.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Red Onion Omit if milder flavor is preferred.
  • 1 handful Fresh Cilantro Parsley can be used as an alternative.
For the Crunchy Topping
  • 1 cup Crispy Fried Onions Homemade or store-bought.

Equipment

  • grill or skillet
  • medium bowl
  • skillet for toasting

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth. Add cabbage, red onion, and cilantro, and toss gently to combine. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat. Cook the hot dogs for about 5-7 minutes, turning frequently until browned and heated through.
  3. Slice the hamburger buns in half and lightly butter the inside. Toast the buns on a separate skillet for about 2-3 minutes, cut side down, until golden brown.
  4. Assemble each hot dog into a toasted bun and top with the spicy slaw.
  5. Sprinkle a handful of crispy fried onions on top of the slaw.
  6. Serve warm with additional lime wedges on the side.
