What it is
Crispy, savory pieces of fried pork belly or pork rinds, a popular and naturally keto-friendly snack or appetizer. Served with a generous portion of freshly made guacamole, a creamy blend of ripe avocados, cilantro, onion, and lime juice.
Key ingredients
Pork belly/skin, lard or vegetable oil (for frying), salt. Guacamole: avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no breading on the chicharrónes (this is usually authentic to the dish). Confirm guacamole has no added sugar (uncommon but possible in some restaurant preparations).
Watch out for
Some commercial chicharrónes might contain seasonings with hidden sugars or starches, but traditional versions are pure pork and salt. Onions and tomatoes (if used) in guacamole contribute small amounts of carbs.
