How to make it keto
Request no rice, no beans, no tortillas, and no plantains. Ask for extra avocado or a simple salad (oil and vinegar dressing). Inquire if sausages contain fillers or added sugar (less common in authentic longanizas but worth checking).
Watch out for
Some commercial sausages may contain fillers like breadcrumbs or corn starch, or added sugars. Default restaurant serving always includes high-carb sides like rice and beans.
