- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced

- 1 tablespoon sour cream (optional)

- Warm the hot dog buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes until lightly toasted.
- Place grilled hot dogs into the buns.
- Top each hot dog with shredded cheddar cheese while the dogs are hot so the cheese can melt slightly.

- Garnish with chopped cilantro and a drizzle of sour cream if using.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey or veggie hot dogs for a lighter or vegetarian version.
