Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 5
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the cooked hot dog slices over the cheese and chips.
Step 7
Pour the warm chili over the top, making sure it’s spread out as evenly as possible.
Step 8
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chili.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nachos cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Step 11
Drizzle the nachos with ketchup and mustard for that classic chili dog feel.
Step 12
Top with sour cream, diced red onion, diced dill pickles, and sliced jalapeños (if using).
Step 13
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
