This is pure Colombian street food energy. A ripe plantain becomes the bun, stuffed with your favorite toppings. Sweet, savory, messy, and absolutely unforgettable. My girls think it is the most fun dinner ever.

Vivi's Notes

The riper the plantain, the sweeter and more caramelized. That contrast with the savory hot dog is what makes this dish special. Try it with Colombian-style toppings: crushed pineapple, pink sauce (mayo + ketchup), and shredded cheese.
