How to make it keto
Request no rice, no black beans, no tortillas, no fried plantains, and no starchy vegetables like potatoes or chayote. Ask for extra grilled bell peppers, onions, and sliced avocado instead. Confirm no sugary glaze is applied to the meat.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades, cross-contamination from high-carb sides. Starchy vegetables such as potatoes or chayote are sometimes included in mixed grilled vegetables. Rice, beans, tortillas, and plantains are standard accompaniments.
