What it is
A ceremonial and rich stew typically combining chicken, pork, and beef in a complex sauce of roasted chiles, tomatoes, and spices. Prepared keto by omitting starchy thickeners and vegetables.
Key ingredients
Chicken, pork (ribs/loin), beef (short ribs), various chiles (guajillo, pasilla), tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, garlic, chicken/beef broth, olive oil.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request no masa or bread as a thickener. Ensure no potatoes, güisquil, or other starchy vegetables. Serve without rice or tortillas. The sauce itself will still be rich and flavorful.
Watch out for
Heavily reliant on masa for thickening in traditional recipes. Contains significant amounts of tomatoes and tomatillos, contributing natural carbs. Starchy vegetables are common additions.
