Steps:

• Pan-Fried Hot Dog
• Cook in a hot cast-iron skillet with a little oil, butter or bacon fat, about 5 minutes.
• Bacon and Onions
• Cook 4 chopped bacon slices in a skillet over medium-high heat until the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 thinly sliced onion; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon each soy sauce and lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
• Mayonnaise
• Spicy Chips
• Spread 1 cup lightly crushed tortilla chips on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chili-lime powder (such as Tajen brand) and toss to coat. Bake at 350 degrees F until lightly toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool.

SPICY MANGO HOT DOGS WITH CRUNCHY FRIED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Mix the mango, red onion, rice vinegar, scallions, cucumber and jalapeno in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the hot dogs, flipping them halfway through so both sides get grill-marked and a little charred, until heated through, about 8 minutes.
• Brush the inside of the brioche buns with butter. Grill until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spread both sides of the inside of the buns with mayonnaise to your liking. Place a hot dog on each bun and spoon a few tablespoons of the mango mixture on the dog. Sprinkle with fried onions.

LOADED GUAC HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Coarsely mash the avocados in a medium bowl. Lightly mix in the cilantro, vinegar, jalapeno, lime juice and onion. Season the guacamole liberally with salt.
• Grill the hot dogs, turning ever few minutes so they get grill-marked on all sides, until heated through, about 8 minutes.
• Remove some of the insides of the hot dog buns and discard. Grill the buns for 2 to 3 minutes until toasted on the inside.
• Spread a small amount of the guacamole inside each hot dog bun. Put a hot dog on each bun. Top with more guacamole and crumbled chips.

DANGER DOGS WITH SPICY FRUIT RELISH

Steps:

• For the fruit relish: Preheat an oiled grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the pineapple and mango slices until grill-marked, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Set aside to cool, then slice into 1/4-inch cubes. In a large bowl, combine the fruit with the jalapeno, red chile, onion, olive oil, lemon juice and pickle relish. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside in the fridge.
• For the hot dogs: Set a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, just to render some fat, not to cook through. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• With a sharp knife, make a small lengthwise slit down the center of each hot dog (do not cut all the way through). Cut the jalapeno slices so you can unroll them into long strips. Place 2 or 3 jalapeno strips into the slit of each hot dog. Wrap each dog with a strip of bacon and secure it in place with toothpicks. In the same grill pan used for the bacon, cook the hot dogs until the bacon is cooked through and crisp, rotating frequently, 5 to 6 minutes total.
• To serve, toast the buns for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the toothpicks from the hot dogs and nestle the dogs in the buns. Top with fruit relish and serve with ketchup and mustard.
