Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocado — Choose ripe avocados for a creamy texture. To prevent browning, squeeze some lemon or lime juice over the sliced avocado.
• Salsa criolla — For a spicier kick, add finely chopped chili peppers to the salsa criolla.

Tips & Tricks

• Experiment with different types of ham, such as smoked or honey-glazed, to add extra flavor to your Hamdogs.
• If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of Colombian spices used in the beef patties.
• Customize your toppings by adding cheese, lettuce, or your favorite Colombian condiments.
