How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, no beans, and no tortillas. Ask for extra avocado or a side salad (oil and vinegar dressing only) instead of starchy sides. Confirm marinade does not contain added sugar.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades or chirmol. High-carb sides like rice, beans, and tortillas are standard.
