How to make it keto
Confirm no sugar is added to the Lizano sauce or in the cooking process. Request a simple preparation of Lizano sauce without extra thickeners. Ask for specific keto-friendly vegetables and confirm no starchy sides.
Watch out for
Lizano sauce itself contains some sugar and corn syrup; larger portions will increase carb count. Sauces might be thickened with flour. Starchy vegetable sides (rice, plantains) are common.
