How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice, beans, tortilla chips, or other carb-heavy accompaniments. Confirm no added sugar in the tomato sauce or chilli mix. Request sour cream or cheese as desired.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in pre-made chilli sauces, canned tomatoes, or tomato paste. Flour as a thickener in some restaurant versions. Carby sides like rice, beans, corn, or nachos.
