Churrasco Guatemalteco (Keto Style)
Guatemalan Mixed Grill with Guacamole & Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly omit rice, beans (frijoles), and tortillas. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A platter of succulent grilled meats, typically including beef (e.g., skirt steak, arrachera), chicken, and sometimes chorizo. Served with fresh guacamole and grilled vegetables instead of traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Grilled beef steak, grilled chicken, grilled chorizo (optional), guacamole (avocado, onion, cilantro, lime, salt), grilled spring onions (cebollitas), bell peppers, cooking oil, salt, pepper, traditional chimichurri (parsley, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes).
How to make it keto
Explicitly omit rice, beans (frijoles), and tortillas. Request extra grilled vegetables or a side salad with oil and vinegar dressing instead of starchy sides. Ensure chorizo has no high-carb fillers if ordered.
Watch out for
Marinades on meat can contain sugar. Chorizo can contain fillers like breadcrumbs or potato starch. Guacamole contains small amounts of onion and tomato. Grilled onions have higher sugar content.
