Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook until they are heated through and have visible grill marks, approximately 5 minutes.

  4. Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill, cut side down, for about 1 minute.
  5. Place a grilled hot dog in each bun and evenly distribute the cooked chorizo on top.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese over the hot dogs with chorizo.
  7. Return the hot dogs to the grill, close the lid, and cook until the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes.
  8. To finish, top each hot dog with sliced jalapeno and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while hot.
