In a previous entry in this blog, we introduced you to the Guatemalan Tamales, and today, we bring you a delicious smaller “cousin”: Chuchitos.
In Guatemalan slang, “Chucho” is a dog, and “Chuchito” would be a “little dog”, but the name is also given to this snack.
They are also a corn based doe with tomato sauce and a small piece of meat, normally chicken, but with a much drier texture than the tamales, and of course, a different flavor, since the doe is wrapped in dried corn leafs and then boiled.
Their size is smaller than the tamale, and are served with a bit more tomato sauce and crumbs of dried white cheese.
Some people mix leaves of different herbs in the doe, giving them a twist to the palate.
Truly one of the most traditional mid morning or mid afternoon snacks.
