Chop hot dogs into small pieces. Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Add chili and hot dog pieces, and cook them until thoroughly heated, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
Arrange chips on an oven-safe platter or in a large casserole dish. Top the chips first with the chili-dog mixture and then with onion.
Top evenly with cheese strips.
Place under the broiler until the cheese begins to melt and bubble, about 2 minutes. Top or serve with sour cream. Garnish with scallions. Eat!

Next time we will omit the carrots and corn. We didn't like that in our chili. And from the previous reviewer we didn't top the chili on the chips, we instead put chips on our plate and topped it with the chili. That way the chips don't get too soggy. We cooked the chili on the stove top and added the cut up hot dogs. And we used the low fat shredded cheddar cheese.
