Grilled Gourmet Hot Dogs on a Charcoal Grill

Ingredients

- 8 hot dog sausages
- 8 hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Charcoal Grill
- Begin by lighting your charcoal grill. Arrange charcoal briquettes into a pyramid shape and ignite. Allow the coals to burn until covered with white ash for even heat, approximately 15-20 minutes.

2. Season and Grill the Hot Dogs
- Brush each hot dog sausage lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with smoked paprika and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the hot dog sausages on the grill, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they have a nice char, turning occasionally.

3. Prepare the Toppings
- While the hot dogs are grilling, combine diced tomatoes and cilantro in a small bowl. Set aside for later use.

4. Toast the Buns
- Open each hot dog bun slightly and brush the insides lightly with olive oil. Place them on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted.

5. Assemble the Gourmet Hot Dogs
- Nestle each grilled hot dog sausage into a toasted bun. Top with a sprinkle of red onion, a few slices of pickled jalapeños, a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and the tomato-cilantro mix.
- Drizzle each hot dog with yellow mustard and ketchup as desired.

6. Serve and Enjoy
- Serve immediately while warm, alongside your favorite sides or as part of a barbecue feast.
