Grilled Guatemalan Pork Sausages (with Avocado & Salad)

What it is
Fresh, often spiced pork sausages (longanizas) characterized by a lighter color than chorizo, typically grilled or pan-fried. They are usually served with rice, potatoes, or tortillas, and a side of chirmol (tomato salsa) and guacamole.
Key ingredients
Ground pork, vinegar, garlic, onion, fresh herbs (mint, hierbabuena), spices (black pepper, salt), natural sausage casing, cooking oil. Served with avocado slices and a simple green salad.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm sausage ingredients for no high-carb fillers (e.g., breadcrumbs, cornmeal). Omit rice, potatoes, tortillas, and any other starchy sides. Request a side of avocado or a green salad. Confirm chirmol (if served) has no added sugar.
Watch out for
High-carb fillers in the sausage (MUST confirm absence), all high-carb sides (rice, potatoes, tortillas) MUST be omitted. Hidden sugar in chirmol.
