What it is
A deconstructed version of the traditional 'Caballo Bayo' platter, typically served with tortillas. This keto rendition presents generous portions of shredded beef (carne desmenuzada), grilled chicken, fried cheese (queso frito), and sliced avocado, all served on a bed of fresh cabbage salad instead of starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Shredded beef, grilled chicken, fried cheese, avocado, cabbage, tomato, onion, lime, cilantro, cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, lard).
How to make it keto
Strictly request no tortillas, gallo pinto, or plantains. Ensure only fried cheese, grilled meats, avocado, and a simple cabbage salad are included. Confirm no sugary dressings for the salad.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in meat marinades, cross-contamination from high-carb foods, or sugary salad dressings. Fried cheese may have a minimal flour dredge in some establishments.
