How to make it keto
Request no tortillas, rice, or beans on the side. Jutiapa chorizos are typically pure meat and fat with spices, but it's always wise to confirm no fillers or sugars in the sausage itself.
Watch out for
Inauthentic chorizos can contain bread crumbs or starch fillers. Hidden sugar in the chirmol is a minor risk. Always served with high-carb sides.
