How to make it keto
Absolutely request no tamalitos blancos or rice usually served alongside. Confirm no other carb-based thickeners (like cornstarch) are used in the stew itself.
Watch out for
Potential for hidden sugars in commercial chili powders or tomato products. The chiles themselves contribute some carbs, but generally acceptable.
