Churrasco Platter (Keto Modified)
Guatemalan Mixed Grilled Meats with Guacamole and Grilled Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ask to omit all traditional sides: rice, black beans, and tortillas. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A hearty platter featuring an assortment of perfectly grilled meats, often including steak (carne asada), chicken, and sometimes chorizo or longaniza sausage. The meats are simply seasoned and grilled to perfection. Traditionally accompanied by rice, beans, and tortillas, this keto version comes with fresh guacamole and grilled bell peppers and onions.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (e.g., skirt steak, sirloin), chicken breast or thigh, sometimes chorizo or longaniza (pork sausage), salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil or cooking oil for grilling. Served with fresh guacamole (avocado, onion, cilantro, lime) and grilled bell peppers and onions.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask to omit all traditional sides: rice, black beans, and tortillas. Request extra guacamole and grilled bell peppers and onions as keto-friendly alternatives. Confirm that any sausages used are low-carb (e.g., no fillers in chorizo).
Watch out for
Traditional high-carb sides (rice, beans, tortillas) are the main risk. Some marinades might contain sugar, but for churrasco, it's usually minimal. Chorizo/longaniza can sometimes have carb fillers; inquire if possible.
