There is something about summer that makes me crave Colombian street food. It must be that I am able to spend more time outside, like when I lived in Colombia.
While there are a lot of places to get hot dogs in Medellin, the hot dog cart on San Diego Boulevard was the most popular about ten years ago. We always went there after partying in Las Palmas because of the amazing small hot dogs with delicious guacamole and chopped onions on top. They were so good that everyone ordered two or three.
Enjoy this simple and delicious variation of hot dogs this summer!
Ingredients

Hot dogs
Guacamole
Chopped onions

What a great idea, I would never thought about hot dogs and guacamole together. But now it makes totally sense to me. My hubby would love it. He is a big guacamole fan.
This is almost such an obvious combination…why haven’t I done this before?? Awesome!
whaaaat. these look so good! combining guacamole with hot dogs is a phenomenal idea… 2 of my favorites!
SO summery! [chels]

I LOVE guacamole!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hot dog with guacamole, Erica. What a smashing idea!!
Hotdog with avocado spread….awesome!
I love the thought of guacamole as a hotdog topping! –I saw Bobby Flay making a hotdog with mole sauce and chopped avocado as toppings and started getting ideas. The guacamole sounds fresh and delicious!
wow what a cool idea love it
Thank you everyone!
Ummm, now I am really hungry! Have you ever had one with peanut butter? Someone told me that recently, I would rather have my guac!
Not something I would ever have thought of putting together but why not?
Street food is always so darn good, isn’t it? I’ve never had a hot dog with guacamole, but it looks delicious!
Erica, this shows that the variation of delicious hot dog dressings is endless.
Excellent! I still remember the pineapple sauce but this is equally awesome. (I love HOT DOG!)
I don’t need to wonder how this would taste – I KNOW it would be absolutely delicious! There are chili-dogs and ‘slaw-dogs but I am craving a guac-dog. 8-D
this is simply inspired! i love guacamole, but it never occurred to me to slather it on a hot dog. THANKS.
It is different, but as Joan said “why not’!
I love a good “perro caliente”
Love guacamole, in fact made some yesterday, but the idea of using it as a relish with a dog is a great one!
I have NEVER seen guacamole on a hot dog before but now that I have, it makes sense to me. I love hot dogs and guac so why not mix the two.
Thanks so much guys:)
Fusion food!
Great idea!
