Ingredients

For the Hot Dogs

4 pieces Hot Dogs Choose your favorite type; turkey dogs can be a leaner option.
4 pieces Buns Soft fluffy buns are essential; think outside the box with pretzel buns for extra flavor!

For the Spicy Slaw

1/2 cup Mayonnaise The creamy base for your slaw dressing; Greek yogurt is a lighter swap.
2 tablespoons Sriracha This adds a fiery kick; adjust the amount to match your spice preference.
2 tablespoons Lime Juice Use fresh for the best zing; bottled lime juice can work in a pinch.
4 cups Shredded Cabbage The crunch foundation of your slaw; coleslaw mix also works well.
1/2 cup Red Onion Offers a sharp bite; substitute with green onions for a milder flavor.
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro Brightens up the slaw; parsley is a great herbal alternative if you prefer.

For Topping

1 cup Crispy Fried Onions Adds delightful texture; homemade ones are just as good if you want to try!

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cabbage, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly in the dressing. Set aside.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Add the hot dogs and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, turning them frequently.
Slice open the buns and place a cooked hot dog in each. Spoon a generous portion of the spicy slaw over the top.
Sprinkle a handful of crispy fried onions on top to finish.

Notes

Prepare the spicy slaw a few hours in advance for enhanced flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, keeping slaw separate to maintain crispness.
