How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or masa is used as a thickener for the green sauce. Request no starchy vegetables (e.g., potatoes) in the stew. Confirm no added sugar in the sauce. Serve with a side of grilled chayote, zucchini, or steamed asparagus instead of rice, beans, or tortillas.
Watch out for
Masa/flour thickeners in the sauce, starchy vegetables (potatoes), hidden sugars in the sauce, high-carb sides (rice, tortillas).
