Colitas de Res Fritas con Ensalada
Fried Oxtail with Salad
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes or rice. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Bolivian dishes.
What it is
Tender oxtail pieces, often slow-cooked until falling off the bone, then fried or pan-seared to crisp the exterior. Traditionally served with potatoes and rice, this keto version focuses solely on the rich, fatty oxtail served alongside a fresh green salad.
Key ingredients
Oxtail, lard or cooking oil, onions, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, simple green salad (lettuce, tomato, vinaigrette).
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or rice. Ask for a simple green salad or steamed low-carb vegetables instead. Confirm no flour dredging if possible.
Watch out for
Hidden flour if dredged before frying; sugary salad dressings; high-carb side dishes if not explicitly omitted.
