Chiles Rellenos sin Rebozar (Pimientos Rellenos de Carne)
Unbattered Chiles Rellenos (Meat-Stuffed Peppers)
Yes, with a tweak: ask for the chiles *without* the traditional egg-and-flour batter (sin rebozar). About 11g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Bell peppers (or pimientos) generously stuffed with seasoned ground beef and simmered in a light tomato sauce. This keto version specifically omits the traditional egg-and-flour batter that coats the peppers, focusing on the savory meat filling and fresh pepper.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers (or pimientos), ground beef, onion, garlic, tomatoes, chicken broth, olive oil, spices (cumin, oregano, salt, pepper).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for the chiles *without* the traditional egg-and-flour batter (sin rebozar). Ensure the meat filling does not contain rice or potatoes. Request no rice or tortillas on the side.
Watch out for
The traditional dish is fried in an egg and flour batter; the meat filling may contain rice or potatoes; the tomato sauce might have added sugar; served with high-carb sides.
