Guatemalan Mixtas are a national favorite in the country. There are many versions of this dish, which is basically grilled meats served with tortillas, salsa and either fresh slices of avocado or guacamole. This particular recipe calls for Spanish sausages (chorizo) as the meat. It is my personal favorite version of Guatemalan Mixtas.
