Gallo de Salchicha (Estilo Keto)
Keto Sausage Gallo (Without Tortilla)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no tortilla. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Costa Rican dishes.
What it is
A common 'gallo' in Costa Rica, this version features sliced hot dog-style sausages, often sautéed with diced onions, bell peppers, and a minimal amount of tomato sauce. The key modification for keto is serving it without the traditional corn tortilla, as a small plate or 'picadillo'.
Key ingredients
Hot dog-style sausages (usually pork/beef), onions, bell peppers, garlic, minimal tomato paste, cilantro, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Absolutely no tortilla. Request minimal or no tomato paste/sauce, or confirm no sugar is added to it. Ensure the sausage itself is low-carb if possible.
Watch out for
Sugars in processed sausage, sugar in tomato sauce/paste, hidden carb fillers in sausage, the omitted tortilla.
