This time of year is always exciting in Guatemala. It’s pre-holiday time and a lot of parties are planned, from simple family gatherings to full on fiestas.  I simply love the festiveness that starts in mid October, going straight through to the new year.  I always think of family and friends this time of year and naturally all the seasonal food we eat back home.

When Hillshire Farms asked us to take their delicious Hillshire Farm® Rope Sausage, and create a fun, Fall recipe that mixed in a bit of my Guatemalan heritage I got excited. It’s not everyday you can mix a traditional Oktoberfest sausage with typical Guatemalan food. I think this recipe is the first German-Guatemalan fusion dish in history. So, when I think of Fall and fun, Guatemalan street food comes to mind; most especially Mixtas.

If you are not familiar with Mixtas, they are quite simple – a Hot Dog in a tortilla. Portable and delicious all wrapped up into one Mixta. We grab them to go after a day out holiday shopping or socializing with friends. They always remind me of the holidays. Hillshire Farm® Rope Sausage lends well to this recipe and is a great addition to your Fall food repertoire.  Every Mixta varies by region and family, but this German-Guatemalan Mixta turned out even better than expected and might be the new, signature, Diaz family Mixta! Try this easy recipe at your next Fall party or create a Hillshire Farms fusion dish of your own.

Before I start the recipe I bought a few of  Hillshire Farm® Rope Sausages at Walmart as well as all the ingredients for this delicious food.
