Ingredients

For the Nacho Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 Fresno chili, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 round tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¾ cup pepper Jack cheese, shredded
  • ¾ cup yellow sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
For the Relish:
  • About ¼ cup diced tomato
  • About 3 tablespoons chopped pickles (Rach used sweet & spicy cornichons)
  • About 3 tablespoons chopped vidalia onions
For the Hot Dogs:
  • Butter
  • Top-split buns
  • Beef, pork or plant-based hot dogs
  • Yellow mustard, for topping
  • Sliced pickled jalapeño peppers, for topping

Yield

Serves: 5 to 8

Preparation

For the nacho sauce, in a small skillet, melt butter, then stir in chilies and garlic and cook out for 1 minute. Add flour, stir, whisk in milk and thicken up a bit, then stir in cheeses to melt. Reduce heat to low, or cover and remove from heat, then reheat on low to serve.

For the relish, mix ingredients together.

Toast lightly-buttered top-split buns on hot griddle or in a skillet. 

Heat hot dogs in skillet with ⅛ inch of water. Bring water to boil, and when dogs are hot, transfer to hot griddle or grill and crisp casings.

To assemble nacho dogs: Toasted bun, dog, mustard, nacho sauce, relish, and pickled jalapeño slices.
