Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the hot dogs with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the hot dogs for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have grill marks.
While the hot dogs are grilling, warm the chili in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Once the hot dogs are cooked, place them in the buns.
Top each hot dog with a spoonful of warm chili, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, and jalapeños.
Drizzle with salsa and sour cream for a creamy, tangy finish.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer jalapeños and using a mild or spicy chili.
For extra crunch, add some crushed tortilla chips on top before serving.
If you prefer a milder option, omit the jalapeños or substitute with mild banana peppers.
