Recipe FAQs
Can I substitute the sriracha?
Yes! Use 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon (to taste) of chipotle peppers in adobo, or your favorite hot sauce in place of the sriracha.
Can I substitute the honey?
Yes, you can use agave syrup in place of the honey.
Can I make mango hot dogs ahead of time?
Yes! Both the coleslaw and sweet and spicy mayo can be made ahead of time. The coleslaw will keep in the fridge for up to a day, and the mayo will stay fresh for up to 5 days. It’s best to make the mango avocado salsa when you’re ready to eat it because the avocado will begin to turn brown.

I liked this a lot. The sweet mayo and mango were yummy!
This looks great and I can’t wait to try this 4th of July. It has me thinking for my vegan friend about trying to make a black bean hot dog instead of burger, what are your thoughts? Any tips on how to form/cook a black bean hot dog!
That’s such an awesome idea!
At the bottom of this post, I’ve linked to a black bean burger. I wonder if you could form it into a hot dog shape. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You’d definitely want to cook it in a pan as it may fall apart on the bbq. If you give it a go, I’d love to hear how it turned out. I’m super curious!
