Grilled Hot Dogs With Spicy Jalapeño Topping Recipes

JALAPENO DANGER DOG

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium heat. Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream and chipotle in a adobo in a small bowl. Refrigerate it while you make the danger dogs.
• Put 1 cheese stick into each jalapeno half, then fill with some sausage, pressing in and making sure the cheese is fully covered. Tightly wrap each jalapeno half in a strip of bacon, pressing it firmly so the bacon sticks to the chorizo.
• Grill the jalapenos cut-side down, moving as needed to avoid flareups, until the bacon on the bottom is brown and crispy and the sausage is cooked, about 10 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until the bacon on the other side is brown and crispy, another 10 minutes (to keep the melted cheese from leaking out, do not flip again). Put 2 grilled jalapenos in each bun, top with the spicy mayonaise and sprinkle with scallions.

LOADED JALAPENO CHILI DOG

Steps:

• If a barbecue grill is used to cook the hot dogs, start by heating the grill on low heat.
• For the Chili - heat the chili in a small pan or in the microwave.
• For the Hot Dogs - to a preheated grill, add the hot dogs (or boil them, or cook them in the microwave if preferred). Turn them every 2 minutes until there are grill marks on each side.
• For the Hot Dog Buns - add the buns face down on the grill (or toast, or steam them if preferred). One way to steam them is to lay a small cooling rack over a pot of boiling water and lay the buns on the rack for minute or so; just long enough for the buns to get soft.
• For the Assembly - lay the toasted or steamed buns on a plate and add about ½ cup of warm chili to each bun.
• Then on top of the chili add the hot dog. Next add the rest of the chili on top of each hot dog. Top with cheese, onions, tomatoes, avocados and hot peppers.
• In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and salsa together and drizzle on top of the hot dog toppings.
• Lastly, garnish with any remaining ingredients such as the cheese, onions and more hot peppers. Serve while the warm.
