How to make it keto
Request no rice, beans, plantains, or potatoes. Confirm the chicken marinade does not contain added sugar. Ask for a simple side salad with oil and vinegar, or extra avocado.
Watch out for
Small amounts of sugar in some commercial marinades (less common for traditional asado), hidden sugars in pre-made salad dressings.
