My family really likes this. It's a fun dish to have occasionally. I do a few things differently: I use ground turkey, then cook the onions and drain off any excess fat. (I always drain ground beef or turkey after cooking.) Next I add the hot dogs and let them brown, and continue with the seasonings. The chili powder that I use has cocoa in it and is fabulous. I also find that using store bought tortilla chips makes this too salty, so I bake my own in the oven, using corn tortillas. This chili mixture is also good over corn muffins instead of chips.
