How to make it keto
Explicitly request chayote instead of plantains for the 'patacones'. Ensure guacamole is freshly made without added sugar. Chicharrón should be plain, not sugar-glazed.
Watch out for
Guacamole can sometimes have hidden sugar in less traditional restaurants. Chayote itself contains some natural carbs. Ensure cooking oil used for frying is keto-appropriate.
