Ingredients

  • 6 hot dogs

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your grill to the highest heat setting. When ready to grill, turn the heat down to medium-high so the temperature is around 450 degrees F.
  2. Place your hot dogs (and buns if you wish!) on the grill. Grill, rotating the hot dogs often, until grill marks appear and they are somewhat slightly charred, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  3. Remove the hot dog and immediately place it in the bun. Drizzle the top with the mayo (as much or as little as you wish), then sprinkle with cotija cheese. Sprinkle with the crushed flaming hot cheetos. Sprinkle with the chives and/or cilantro.
  4. Serve immediately!
