Arroz Carreteiro Keto (com Arroz de Couve-Flor)
Keto Cowboy Rice (with Cauliflower Rice)

Key ingredients
Cauliflower, dried beef (carne seca/charque), onion, garlic, bell peppers (red, yellow, green), olive oil, beef broth, parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Replace white rice with riced cauliflower. Ensure no added sugar in the dried beef or broth. Request without added starchy vegetables if any are typically used.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in processed dried beef (less common but possible); large portion of cauliflower rice can contribute to total carbs; some bell peppers are higher in carbs.
