Guacamol (sin tostadas)
Guatemalan Guacamole (without chips)
Yes, with a tweak: emphatically specify no tortilla chips. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Guatemalan dishes.
What it is
A fresh and vibrant dip made from ripe avocados, typically mixed with diced tomatoes, white onion, cilantro, and generous lime juice. This staple is inherently keto-friendly, provided it's consumed without the high-carb tortilla chips it is traditionally served with.
Key ingredients
Ripe avocados, white onion, cilantro, tomatoes, fresh lime juice, salt. May also include a touch of serrano or jalapeño chile for a mild kick.
How to make it keto
Emphatically specify no tortilla chips. Ask for vegetable sticks (such as celery, cucumber, or bell pepper strips) if available, or simply enjoy with a spoon. Confirm no sugar is added to the guacamole mixture, which is rare in authentic preparations but possible in some eateries.
Watch out for
The primary carb risk is exclusively from the accompanying tortilla chips. While uncommon in traditional Guatemalan recipes, some establishments might add a small amount of sugar to their guacamole.
