These Tex-Mex chili dogs can be prepared in one of two days—the hot dogs can be cooked right in the slow cooker with the sauce or the sauce can be prepared on the stovetop and the hot dogs can either be grilled or boiled. I cooked the hot dogs on an indoor grill pan but an outdoor grill would be even better. The hot dogs are loaded with a sauce, Frito chips, chopped tomato and shredded cheese. The sauce is a combination of canned chili, chopped green chili peppers and cheddar cheese soup. I like to serve these hot dogs with French fries. Enjoy.
