Churrasco Guatemalteco (Keto)
Guatemalan Grilled Meats with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no tortillas, no frijoles (beans), no rice, and no plátanos (plantains). About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A hearty platter featuring a selection of perfectly grilled meats, typically including steak (carne asada) and chicken, possibly pork or chorizo. Served with authentic chirmol (fresh tomato salsa), creamy guacamole, and grilled onions, with all traditional high-carb side dishes replaced or omitted for a keto experience.
Key ingredients
Grilled steak, grilled chicken (thigh/breast), grilled onions, guacamole (avocado, onion, cilantro, lime), chirmol (diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil).
How to make it keto
Absolutely no tortillas, no frijoles (beans), no rice, and no plátanos (plantains). Confirm chirmol contains no added sugar. Request extra grilled onions or a simple side salad with oil and vinegar dressing instead of any starchy accompaniments. If chorizo is included, confirm it is sugar-free.
Watch out for
Tortillas, beans, rice, plantains, sugary chorizo, hidden sugars in chirmol or salad dressings.
