What are some traditional Guatemalan foods? ?
Guatemalan cuisine is similar to other Latin American countries with an emphasis on rice, beans, and tortillas. Chicken and meat are common, and often served with a sauce or in a stew. The coffee, as you might expect in a coffee-growing country, is excellent. Some of the traditional dishes most often requested by Guatemalans are the Quetzaltenango tamales, kakik (spiced turkey soup), jocon (chicken in green tomato sauce), guacamole (avocado puree), subanik (beef, pork and chicken vapor-cooked in a highly spiced sauce), and traditional Antigua candy.
