Preparation Steps

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Gather your ingredients.
In a medium bowl, mix together honey, sriracha, lime juice, and dairy-free mayo until smooth. Adjust spice level as desired.
Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for 7-9 minutes, turning them frequently.
During the last minute of grilling, toast the buns for 1-2 minutes on the grill until lightly browned.
Assemble by placing each hot dog in a bun, drizzling with the sauce, and garnishing with cilantro and jalapeños. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep it juicy by reducing grill heat if hot dogs start to burst. Toasting buns adds delightful texture. Make the sauce up to 24 hours in advance for the best taste.
