Although it does not mention any vegan variation, there is a wikipedia article about the “completos”.

    Hi, I like the discussion this “hotdog” generated. Let’s just call it something else to avoid getting people confused.

    Actually really easy: Just get your favorite hotdog bread. The sweeter the better. Then add some mustard and get your “something else” get cozy on it (you could make your own but getting the standard one from the store is good enough). Add your avocado pasta with a little of garlic and sea salt. On top of that, get your peeled tomatoes chop in tiny pieces with a bit of coriander and make the whole thing every tastier with a bit of ketchup and vegan mayonn@ise.

    This is actually a recipe from Chile.

    P.s. if you invite them to some friends just tell them that these are boiled carrots so they don’t feel disappointed ;)

      This is my best attempt at a rewrite:

      Get (vegan) hotdog buns, the sweeter the better. Spread mustard on the bun, and add your meat substitute. Make an avocado paste, adding some garlic and sea salt, and add that to the hotdog. Dice a peeled tomato and top it with coriander, then add it to the hotdog. Lastly, add ketchup and vegan mayonnaise to taste.

      Make sure to tell your friends that you’re using meat substitute, so that they aren’t disappointed. In the photo, boiled carrots were used as meat substitute.

          Ah, I see, the texture of the sausage is quite different. I’ve previously had some luck replacing sausage with carrot by boiling carrots, seasoning with soy sauce and sugar, and then frying in a pan on medium-low heat.

          I’m not a vegan/vegetatian but it’s quite decent.

      That’s interesting to hear that you put some garlic on the avocados - the Chileans I know don’t do that, but they left the country in the late 70’s. I wonder if this is done by personal preference or if there was a ‘culinary branch’ created from them emigrating.

      I’m also a little surprised to hear about the use of ketchup - I would guess that the red sauce was Aji.

      (This is absolutely not an attempt to criticize your food, I am of the firm belief that all Completos are awesome no matter what)
