How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, no beans, no tortillas, no plantains, and no potatoes (papas fritas). Ask for extra salad, avocado, or grilled low-carb vegetables (onions, bell peppers). Inquire about marinades and sauces for hidden sugars.
Watch out for
Marinades for grilled meats can be sugary. Accompanying sauces (like 'chirmol' or 'chimichurri') might contain hidden sugars or starchy ingredients. Omission of multiple high-carb side dishes is critical for keto compliance.
