Chuchitos are a traditional dish from Guatemala, consisting of small, steamed maize cakes filled with seasoned meat (usually pork) and spices. The dough is made from maize flour, lard or oil, and spices, and the filling is typically seasoned with chili pepper, garlic, and other spices. Chuchitos are often served with a tomato sauce and sometimes a dollop of guacamole. They are considered a comfort food and are commonly sold at street stalls, markets, and fairs, as well as in restaurants. They are often eaten as a snack or as a main dish, and are a popular item during festivals and special occasions.
