How to make it keto
Request 'sin arroz, habichuelas, ni plátanos' (no rice, beans, or plantains). Confirm no flour or starchy root vegetables (like potatoes or yuca) are used to thicken the sauce. If a small amount of tomato paste is used, it's generally fine in keto, but a large amount should be avoided.
Watch out for
Flour/starch thickeners, root vegetables (potatoes, yuca) often added to the stew, and, of course, the carb sides.
