How to make it keto
Strictly request no rice, no beans, no tortillas, no roasted potatoes, no fried plantains, and no corn. Ask for extra grilled low-carb vegetables (onions, bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus) and a side salad with oil and vinegar. Confirm marinades are sugar-free.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades or sauces. Copious traditional starchy sides (rice, beans, potatoes, tortillas, plantains, corn) that must be completely omitted. Grilled onions and bell peppers contain some carbs, but are generally acceptable in moderation.
