Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 14-oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 hot dogs, vegetarian or regular
  • 6 brioche hot dog buns

pickled jalapeno peach relish

  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapenos
  • 1 peach, diced
  • 2 tbsp red onion
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp honey

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, garlic, and red pepper until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and oregano for 1 minute. Toss in the Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar, then pour in the tomatoes and black beans. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 10 minutes. I like to let mine heat for as long as possible to let the flavors come together more. If the chili begins to dry out, lower the heat and add 1/4 cup water or broth.
  • Wipe the grates of a grill or grill pan with oil and preheat to medium. Grill hot dogs according to package directions, usually 10-15 minutes, turning often to get a nice char on each side.
  • Make the relish. In a small bowl, toss pickled jalapenos, peach, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and honey.
  • Warm the hotdog buns and set finished dogs inside. Scoop 1/3-1/2 cup or so of chili overtop. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese - it will melt from the hot chili! Finish with a spritz of pickled jalapeno relish, a squeeze of time, and a couple cilantro sprigs.
