How to make it keto
Crucially request no tortillas, no rice, and no beans. Ensure that the onions are not excessively caramelized with added sugar. Verify the sausage ingredients if possible to avoid high-carb fillers.
Watch out for
The primary carb risk is the traditional starchy accompaniments (tortillas, rice). Sugar added during onion caramelization. Some cheaper sausages may contain high-carb fillers.
