Explanation:
Chili is a Texas dish, it is a meat sauce with beans, tomatos and plenty of spices, it nos not necesarily hot.

It is a great meal!

Perro caliente o hot dog con chili would be the best translation, as chili here does not refer to hot pepers, but a particular dish.

Good luck!

agree  David Meléndez Tormen: en Chile se llaman Especiales si tienen sólo mayonesa y tomate picado, y Completos si tienen también chucrut, mostaza y/o ají (como se le dice al Chile en Chile :-))))))

  -> ¡Entonces quiero un "Completo" con ají y todo... !
agree  Monica Colangelo: Calentito' lo' pancho' Deberías aclarar, Clari, que aquí solo los comemos con mostaza, ketchup o mayonesa (los normales)... Vos y yo ...viva la salsa picante!
25 mins
  -> ¡Parece que hay varios que se anotan hoy al chile, ají, salsa picante o como le digan.
agree  mgonzalez (X): Totalmente de acuerdo c/salsa picante,que sirve para todas partes.P.Ej:en España nunca se diría 'chile',sino 'guindilla'.

chili dog/ pancho (hot dog/ perro caliente) con chile (picante)


Explanation:
Sugiero varias posibilidades: una es no traducir el término y explicarlo en nota al pie. En los dibujos animados de Hannah Barbera (referencia de la niñez)hay muchas situaciones cómicas con esta salsa, donde la voz en off dobla el letrero como "chile" o "chile picante" (con E). Provecho!
