Good to know

Tips

  • The avocado should be smooth and spread thickly — it is the star.

Food safety

  • Heat frankfurters until steaming hot right through (74 °C).

Storage

  • Assemble to order; mashed avocado browns within an hour.

Variations

  • Completo dinámico (Chile): Adds salsa americana (pickled relish) and sometimes sauerkraut.
  • As italiano (Chile): The same toppings on thin-sliced griddled beef instead of a sausage.
