Explicitly request no rice, no beans, and no tortillas. Confirm marinade does not contain added sugar (typically it's citrus and spices). Ask for extra virgin olive oil and vinegar for the salad, avoiding sugary dressings.
Watch out for
Marinades can sometimes contain small amounts of sugar or fruit juice. Salad dressings can be very high in sugar; specify oil and vinegar or ask for plain oil and vinegar on the side. Always served with rice and beans in a standard setting, which must be omitted.
