Ingredients
  

4 large all-beef hot dogs

4 fresh, soft hot dog buns

1 cup roasted Hatch green chiles, diced (fresh or canned)

1 cup kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup chopped onion (red or white)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Pickled jalapeños (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chili Base: In a medium pot, drizzle olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Incorporate the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute until aromatic.

    Add Veggies and Spices: Stir in the diced roasted Hatch green chiles, kidney beans, and diced tomatoes. Season the mixture with chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and reduce the heat to low. Allow the chili base to simmer for approximately 15 minutes, letting the flavors blend beautifully.

      Cook the Hot Dogs: While the chili simmers, prepare the hot dogs based on your preference. For grilling, cook them for about 6-8 minutes until they have a nice char. For boiling, simmer them in hot water for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

        Toast the Buns: This step is optional but highly recommended! Toast the hot dog buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are lightly crispy. If grilling isn't an option, you can use a toaster oven to achieve a similar effect.

          Assemble the Chili Dogs: Take each grilled or boiled hot dog and place it into a toasted bun. Generously spoon the flavorful Hatch chili mixture over each hot dog.

            Top It Off: Sprinkle a hearty amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the chili-covered hot dogs. For a fresh finish, garnish with chopped cilantro. If desired, serve with a dollop of sour cream and pickled jalapeños on the side.

              Serve: Serve your delicious Hatch Chili Chili Dogs immediately while they are warm and melty. Pair them with your favorite sides for a complete meal!
