How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar is added to the criolla sauce. Confirm sweetbreads are grilled or pan-fried in olive oil or butter, not breaded. Request moderate portion of criolla sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in criolla sauce. Overly generous portions of onions and peppers in the sauce can increase carb count. May be served with non-keto sides if not specified.
