Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Pineapple sauce — If you can't find ready-made pineapple sauce, you can make your own by blending fresh pineapple chunks with a splash of lime juice until smooth.
  • Salsa rosada — Feel free to adjust the garlic quantity according to your preference. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a pinch of paprika for extra flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra kick of flavor, add a drizzle of spicy salsa or hot sauce on top of the other toppings.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, to customize the flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the hot dog sausages with grilled or roasted vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant.
  • Don't be shy with the toppings! The more generous you are, the more flavorful and satisfying the hot dog will be.
  • Serve with a side of crispy French fries or plantain chips for a complete Colombian street food experience.

Serving advice

Serve the Colombian-Style Hot Dog immediately after assembling to ensure the bun stays soft and the cheese is melted. Enjoy it with your hands, embracing the messy and delicious experience.

Presentation advice

To enhance the visual appeal, place the hot dog on a colorful plate and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve with a side of potato chips or a small bowl of salsa for dipping.
