How to make it keto
Order grilled beef or chicken only. Explicitly omit rice, refried beans, tortillas, and chorizo (if offered). Request extra guacamole and a plain green salad with oil and vinegar dressing on the side (no sugary dressings).
Watch out for
Marinades for grilled meat can contain sugar. Restaurant guacamole might have small amounts of added sugar. Salad dressings are often high in sugar. Chorizo frequently contains fillers and sugars. Tomatoes and onions in guacamole contribute small amounts of carbs.
