What it is
Plump and flavorful Guatemalan-style chorizos (pork sausages), expertly grilled until lightly charred and juicy. These sausages are typically well-seasoned with a blend of regional spices. Served with fresh, creamy avocado slices or guacamole, making for a satisfying high-fat, high-protein keto meal.
Key ingredients
Pork chorizo sausages, cooking oil (for grilling if needed), fresh avocado, salt, pepper. May include a simple side salad of lettuce and tomato.
How to make it keto
Request no tortillas, no rice, and no beans. Ensure any accompanying salsa or sauces do not contain added sugar. If served with salad, ensure dressing is oil and vinegar-based, or ask for plain oil and vinegar.
Watch out for
Hidden fillers (bread/cornstarch) in chorizo sausages (less common in authentic, butcher-made chorizo but possible), sugar in marinades or glazes for grilling, sugary sauces or dressings for sides.
