How to make it keto
Request no rice, no black beans, no tortillas. Ask for a large side salad with oil and vinegar dressing, or grilled low-carb vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini).
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, high-carb sides if not explicitly omitted, possible breading if 'a la plancha' isn't plain chicken (rare but possible).
