What it is
Generous portion of thin, marinated grilled beef steak, known for its smoky flavor. Modified to be served without any high-carb sides like tortillas, rice, or beans, instead focusing on the succulent meat, fresh guacamole, and simple green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (e.g., skirt or flank), marinade (lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, potential minor seasonings), guacamole (avocado, onion, cilantro, lime), side salad (lettuce, tomato, onion with oil/vinegar).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no tortillas, rice, or beans. Inquire about sugar content in the marinade and request minimal or no sugar if possible. Ask for a simple green salad or grilled low-carb vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, chayote) instead of high-carb sides.
Watch out for
Sugar in marinade, default high-carb sides (tortillas, rice, beans, plantains), sugary salad dressings.
