- Place a grilled hot dog in each bun and evenly distribute the cooked chorizo on top.
- Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese over the hot dogs with chorizo.
- Return the hot dogs to the grill, close the lid, and cook until the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes.
- To finish, top each hot dog with sliced jalapeno and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- To add extra flavor, consider grilling the jalapenos for a smoky flavor before slicing.
- For a vegetarian alternative, substitute the hot dogs and chorizo with plant-based versions.
