What it is
Authentic Guatemalan grilled sausages (Longanizas, which are more herbaceous, or Chorizos, which are spicier), known for their rich pork flavor. A naturally high-fat and high-protein option when served without carb-heavy sides.
Key ingredients
Pork sausage (Longaniza or Chorizo), spices (e.g., garlic, onion, pepper, achiote, mint, oregano), cooking oil (for grilling).
How to make it keto
Request no rice, no beans, and no tortillas. Ensure the sausages themselves do not contain high-carb fillers (Guatemalan sausages are typically meat-heavy, but always good to confirm). Ask for a side of grilled onions, avocado, or a simple green salad with a keto-friendly dressing.
Watch out for
While Guatemalan sausages are usually low-carb, some commercial varieties can contain fillers or sugars. All traditional sides (rice, beans, tortillas) are high in carbs and must be omitted. Salad dressings can contain hidden sugars.
