I grew up eating hot dogs, salsa and chips almost every Saturday night. I remember we would watch the Lawrence Welk Show and M.A.S.H., have our baths and I would hopefully get curlers in my hair for church the next day. Those were much simpler times when all I cared about was who I was going to play with the next day and what we would do together. My dad always bought Wrangler hot dogs and those were the ones I preferred for years until I had a Chilean Hot Dog or a Completo. I think we would say they are hot dogs that have “everything but the kitchen sink”. These things are THE BEST! We had a party for my son a few years ago and did a hot dog bar – I had so many complements! Everyone said they did not know hot dogs could be so delicious!
My mother in law is from Chile – over there you use a hoagie type bun, throw some mayo, avocado, pico de gallo, mustard and ketchup all on top of your hot dog. The flavors are incredible – I have not met anyone who did like them!
I have lots of great memories of Memorial Day weekend. Visiting family’s graves, learning a bit of those who lived before and where I come from, and always having a BBQ afterwards. If hot dogs are on the menu for you and your family this weekend, give it a Chilean twist and try a Completo. You will be so happy you did!
See the Happy!

- While you have your hot dogs grilling, dice up the tomato, onion, cilantro, and avocado.
- Put mayo on your bun, add the hot dog and sprinkle all the toppings over the top. Drizzle the ketchup and mustard over that. Enjoy!
When you told me about this I wasn’t too sure but you make them look and sound delicious. I’ll have to try it. I love your blog!
Thanks for stopping by Em! These hot dogs don’t even compare to what we usually eat – I bet you will love them!
