How to make it keto
Explicitly request *no* rice, *no* beans, and *no* plantains. Inquire about any sugary marinades and request plain preparation (salt, pepper, garlic, lime/oil) if possible. Ask for oil and vinegar for the salad dressing, on the side.
Watch out for
Potential sugary marinades (especially if it's a pre-marinated breast). Sugary salad dressings. Excessive tomatoes in the salad.
