A recipe for Completo Italiano (Chilean Italian-Style Hot Dog)! These hot dogs are topped with diced tomatoes, mashed avocado, and a drizzle of mayonnaise for a delicious summer grilling option or street food.
Looking for a new way to serve hot dogs this summer? Chile has that covered. Hot dogs were introduced to Chile in the 1920s and the toppings have been adapted to create a mash-up of Latin and European flavors.
There are a variety of topping combinations available, many with specific names. I was immediately drawn to the Completo Italiano. This version covers a hot dog (Vienesa) with diced tomatoes, mashed avocado (Palta), and mayonnaise. It is called the Italian since the toppings represent the colors of the country’s flag.
Here are the other toppings options:
- Tomate Mayo: Tomato and mayonnaise
- Completo: Tomato, avocado, mayonnaise, sauerkraut, pepper, sauces
- Dinámico: Tomato, avocado, mayonnaise, American sauce, salsa verde
- As: Grilled meat instead of hot dogs, avocado, tomato, and mayonnaise
- A lo Pobre: Fried onion, fried egg, cheese
- Alemán: Tomato, mayonnaise, sauerkraut
- Brasileño: Avocado and cheese
- Atómico: Tomato, sauerkraut, mayonnaise, avocado, American sauce, hot chili sauce
- Gringo: Tomato, lettuce, cucumber, onion, mayonnaise

I usually have my hotdogs with some whole grain mustard and sliced onions, but I’ll have to try this version! I love avocados and tomatoes and the combo looks great.
