SHUCOS

From Guatemala

Shucos

SHU- what??? In Guatemala, street hot dog vendors have let their Latin flair shine and turned the regular hot dog into the delicious Shuco that brings together the flavors of the American hot dog with Guatemalan delights like guacamole, chorizo, ham, pico de gallo, slaw and special sauces. The result is out of this world taste.

Shucos in Guatemala are also made adding other ingredients like ham, longanizas (Guatemalan spiced sausages), bacon, frijoles and other ingredients. I also like to make chimichurri sauce which pairs perfectly with the chorizo. Think of your hot dog or chorizo as a blank canvas. Pile on whatever toppings you fancy and enjoy! You cant go wrong.
