Chojín Guatemalteco

chicharrón

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Grilled chicken reduces fat while maintaining protein.

radishes

🥗Healthier: daikon

💰Cheaper: turnips

Daikon provides a similar crunch with fewer calories.

lime

🥗Healthier: lemon

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon offers a similar acidity with a different flavor profile.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: bell pepper

💰Cheaper: banana pepper

Bell peppers are milder and more accessible.

Chop all the vegetables: tomatoes, onion, hierbabuena, and radish.

Mix all the chopped vegetables together in a bowl.

Crush the chicharrón using a plastic bag and a hard surface to avoid mess.

Add the crushed chicharrón to the vegetable mixture and combine well.

Squeeze lime juice into the mixture and stir.

Taste and add salt if necessary, as the chicharrón is already salty.

Serve the chojín with tortillas or tostadas.
