How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar in marinade. Omit rice, beans, tortillas, and any starchy vegetables. Request oil and vinegar for salad dressing, avoiding sugary alternatives.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, hidden sugar in guacamole (uncommon for authentic), starchy side vegetables, sugary salad dressings.
