Introduction
This is a traditional dish that you would be served at a Birthday celebration in the highlands of Guatemala where I live. This recipe is from my favorite Guatemalan youtuber My Provider Chapin. I omitted the potatoes because in our area, it is served without them. This is a traditional dish that you would be served at a Birthday celebration in the highlands of Guatemala where I live.
