What it is
Tender pork chunks slow-cooked in a rich, tangy adobo sauce made from vinegar, various dried chiles, garlic, and spices. The marinade is robust, infusing the pork with deep flavors. Modified to be served without traditional high-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/butt, vinegar, guajillo chiles, pasilla chiles, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, black pepper, bay leaves, cooking oil (lard or vegetable oil).
How to make it keto
Request no rice, beans, or tortillas. Ensure the adobo sauce does not contain any added sugars (common in some commercial versions) or flour as a thickener.
Watch out for
Added sugar in adobo marinades (less common in authentic versions but possible in restaurants). Small amounts of onion/garlic/chiles contribute natural carbs.
