Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Tortilla chips
- 4 whole Hot dogs
- 2 cups Canned chili
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Diced red onion
- 0.25 cup Dill pickles, diced
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the hot dogs into thin rounds. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sliced hot dogs until they are golden and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Heat the canned chili in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally and keep warm.
On a large, oven-safe baking sheet, spread the tortilla chips evenly in a single layer.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.
Evenly distribute the cooked hot dog slices over the cheese and chips.
Pour the warm chili over the top, making sure it’s spread out as evenly as possible.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chili.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nachos cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the nachos with ketchup and mustard for that classic chili dog feel.
Top with sour cream, diced red onion, diced dill pickles, and sliced jalapeños (if using).
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy these loaded chili dog nachos with friends and family!
