How to make it keto
Request 'sin papa, sin yuca, sin arroz, sin frijoles'. Confirm no sugar added to the sauce/broth. Request additional low-carb vegetables like steamed broccoli or sautéed green beans as a side.
Watch out for
Potential for hidden sugar in broth or tomato sauce, or restaurant accidentally including high-carb vegetables. Bell peppers and tomatoes contribute natural carbs.
