Guatemalan Fried Pork Belly with Avocado
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Guatemalan dishes.
What it is
Crispy, deep-fried pork belly, often served with a side of fresh avocado. A classic Guatemalan snack or appetizer, rich in fat and protein, naturally low in carbs.
Key ingredients
Pork belly, salt, cooking oil (typically lard or vegetable oil), avocado.
Optional tweaks
No modifications needed for the dish itself. Ensure no starchy sides like tortillas, plantains, or bread are served. Request extra avocado or a simple lime wedge.
Watch out for
None inherent to the chicharrón or avocado. Risk only if served with unexpected high-carb sides (e.g., rice, beans) not explicitly requested to be omitted, or if a sugary dipping sauce is provided.
