Chiles Rellenos (Unbattered Stuffed Peppers, No Sides)
Keto Stuffed Guatemalan Bell Peppers
Yes, with a tweak: request the peppers be roasted or grilled, NOT battered and fried. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Traditional Guatemalan chiles rellenos usually involve poblano or bell peppers stuffed with ground meat (beef/pork), vegetables, and sometimes rice, then battered and fried. This keto version removes the batter and rice from the stuffing, focusing on the savory meat and pepper.
Key ingredients
Poblano or bell peppers, ground beef/pork, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, peas, green beans, spices (cumin, oregano), cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request the peppers be roasted or grilled, NOT battered and fried. Ensure the stuffing does not contain rice, potatoes, or other starchy fillers. Ask for no serving of rice or tortillas on the side.
Watch out for
Batter, rice in stuffing, peas, corn, traditional high-carb sides.
