Parrillada Mixta Keto
Keto Mixed Grill (Beef, Chicken, Sausage with Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly ask for no rice, no beans, no tortillas, no plantains, and no potatoes. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A robust platter featuring a selection of grilled meats, typically including beef steak, chicken pieces, and flavorful Guatemalan sausage (longaniza/chorizo). This keto version is served with grilled low-carb vegetables instead of traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (e.g., sirloin, flank), chicken pieces (thighs, breast), Guatemalan longaniza/chorizo (pork sausage), bell peppers, zucchini, onion (small amount), olive oil, various spices (garlic, cumin, oregano), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly ask for no rice, no beans, no tortillas, no plantains, and no potatoes. Request a generous side of grilled or steamed low-carb vegetables (e.g., broccoli, asparagus, bell peppers) instead.
Watch out for
Marinades and accompanying sauces can contain significant amounts of sugar. Sausages (chorizo/longaniza) can have fillers like breadcrumbs or rice; inquire if possible. Watch for high-carb vegetables inadvertently included in the grill mix.
