Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    In a bowl, mix the red food coloring with a small amount of water to create a dye. Submerge the all-beef hot dogs in the dye for about 10 minutes. Remove and let them dry on a paper towel.

Making the Sauce

  1. 2

    Mix the Spicy Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the Sriracha sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cooking the Hot Dogs

  1. 3

    Cook the Hot Dogs

    Grill or boil the dyed hot dogs for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. If grilling, achieve a nice char on the outside.

Assembling the Red Hot Dogs

  1. 4

    Build Your Red Hot Dog

    Place a cooked red hot dog in a bun. Drizzle with the spicy sauce. Top with chopped onions, shredded cheese, and pickled jalapeños. Optionally, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for added flavor.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the Red Hot Dogs warm, and enjoy with extra spicy sauce on the side if desired.
