Unbattered Stuffed Bell Peppers with Meat
Yes, with a tweak: request NO EGG BATTER ('sin rebozar'). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.

Roasted bell peppers (often pimientos or local chiles like pimiento) stuffed with a savory mixture of seasoned ground beef or pork, sometimes with a few diced keto-friendly vegetables. Prepared without the traditional egg batter and served without rice or tortillas.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground beef/pork, onion, garlic, tomato, bell pepper (diced for filling), olive oil, spices (cumin, oregano, salt, pepper), tomato sauce (for serving).
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request NO EGG BATTER ('sin rebozar'). Request no rice, no tortillas. Ensure filling does not contain potatoes, breadcrumbs, or other starchy fillers.
Watch out for
Batter is the main risk if not explicitly omitted, hidden sugars in tomato sauce or filling, starchy fillers in meat mixture, cross-contamination if fried with battered items.
