How to make it keto
Explicitly request no tortillas, rice, or beans. Confirm that the sausages themselves have no high-carb fillers (like breadcrumbs or excessive sugar). Request chirmol on the side and confirm no added sugar in its preparation.
Watch out for
Guatemalan sausages can sometimes contain fillers (e.g., breadcrumbs) or added sugar. Chirmol (tomato salsa) can have hidden sugars. Traditional high-carb sides (tortillas, rice, beans) must be avoided.
