Guacamol con Chicharrones o Vegetales
Guacamole with Pork Rinds or Vegetable Sticks
Yes, with a tweak: specify no tortilla chips. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Guatemalan dishes.
What it is
A staple appetizer or side dish of fresh mashed avocado mixed with onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. While inherently keto-friendly, it's usually served with high-carb tortilla chips. The keto modification involves substituting chips with pork rinds (chicharrones) or low-carb vegetable sticks.
Key ingredients
Ripe avocados, white onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, optional jalapeño, pork rinds/chicharrones or cucumber/bell pepper sticks for dipping.
How to make it keto
Specify no tortilla chips. Request pork rinds (chicharrones) or a side of low-carb vegetables like cucumber or bell pepper sticks for dipping. Confirm no added sugar to the guacamole (uncommon for traditional guac but good to verify).
Watch out for
Accidental serving of tortilla chips. Hidden sugar (very rare for traditional guacamole, but always a potential risk in restaurants). Small amounts of carbs from onion/cilantro.
