Chile Relleno sin Capear (Keto)
Unbattered Stuffed Bell Pepper (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: essential to request no egg batter (sin capear). About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A roasted bell pepper (or occasionally poblano) stuffed with a savory mixture of ground meat (beef, pork, or chicken), vegetables like carrots, peas, and green beans, all simmered in a light tomato sauce. Crucially, it's served without the traditional egg batter.
Key ingredients
Bell pepper (or poblano), ground beef/pork/chicken, tomato sauce (fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic), small amounts of diced carrots/peas/green beans in the filling, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Essential to request no egg batter (sin capear). Request no rice or tortillas on the side. Ask for minimal carrots/peas in the stuffing, or focus on a meat-heavy filling.
Watch out for
The egg batter is the biggest carb offender. Carrots and peas in the stuffing can add up in large portions. Tomato sauce might have added sugar.
