How to make tropical mango hot dogs
It's simple to make these delicious tropical mango hot dogs. Here's how they come together in a few easy steps:
- Crisscross slice the hot dogs and cook them until crispy on your preheated grill. Grill your buns for a few minutes too, if you'd like.
- While the hot dogs are grilling, work on the rest of your meal. Mix up the mango salsa by stirring together the mango, avocado, and jalapeƱo together in a small bowl.
- Make the sweet and spicy mayo by stirring all ingredients together in a separate small bowl.
- Stir the coleslaw mix together.
- Now assemble your hot dog by topping each bun with sweet mayo, coleslaw, a smokie, and some mango salsa. That's it!

Mango hot dogs: 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.
