Ingredients
  

For the Hot Dogs:

4 hot dog sausages (choose beef or pork based on preference)

4 fresh hot dog buns

1 cup coleslaw (can be store-bought or homemade)

1 ripe avocado, sliced into thin pieces

½ cup crushed potato chips (to add a crunchy topping)

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Caramelized Pineapple:

1 medium ripe pineapple, peeled and sliced into rings

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Caramelized Pineapple:

    - In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and bubbling lightly.

      - Carefully place the pineapple rings into the skillet. Allow them to cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, gently flipping until they become golden brown and caramelized. Once done, remove from heat and set the skillet aside.

        Cook the Hot Dogs:

          - While the pineapple is caramelizing, preheat your grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

            - Grill the hot dog sausages for approximately 5-7 minutes. Rotate them occasionally to ensure they are evenly cooked and develop attractive grill marks.

              Prepare the Toppings:

                - In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and fresh lime juice. Stir until smooth and well-blended. Taste and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. This will serve as your delicious sauce for the hot dogs.

                  Assemble the Hot Dogs:

                    - Open each hot dog bun and insert a grilled sausage. Pile on a generous amount of coleslaw followed by slices of creamy avocado and several pieces of the warm caramelized pineapple. Drizzle the prepared sauce over everything and finish with a sprinkle of crushed potato chips for an extra crunch.

                      Serve:

                        - Enjoy the hot dogs immediately while they are warm. Consider garnishing with additional lime wedges and a splash of your favorite hot sauce for those who desire a kick!
