How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice, beans, or plantains. Ensure no flour-based thickeners are used in the sauce (uncommon for this dish but good to confirm).
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades (uncommon but possible), high-carb side dishes (rice, beans, fried plantains) are the main risk.
