Eggs, Guatemalan chorizo (pork sausage), onion, bell pepper, olive oil/lard, salt, black pepper. Optional: avocado on the side.
How to make it keto
Request no tortillas (corn or flour), no refried beans, no plantains, and no sweet bread. Ask for avocado or a small side salad if available.
Watch out for
Chorizo itself can sometimes contain fillers (like breadcrumbs) or sugar, though Guatemalan chorizo is often quite pure. The main risk is high-carb side dishes typically served with breakfast.
