Pato en Salsa Verde
Duck in Green Tomatillo Sauce (Keto, without Rice or Tortillas)
Yes, with a tweak: request without rice or tortillas. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Mexican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender duck meat simmered in a vibrant and tangy green sauce made from tomatillos, serrano chiles, and cilantro. The rich duck meat pairs perfectly with the bright sauce.
Key ingredients
Duck (leg or breast), tomatillos, serrano chiles, onion, garlic, cilantro, chicken broth, cooking oil or duck fat, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request without rice or tortillas. Confirm no starchy thickeners (like masa or flour) are used in the sauce. Ask for a side of sliced avocado or simple greens.
Watch out for
Tomatillos and chiles contribute some carbs to the sauce. Some recipes might use a minimal amount of corn masa to thicken the sauce, so confirm. The main carb risk is the standard serving with rice and tortillas.
