Pimiento Relleno sin Rebozar

What it is

Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground beef or pork, onion, garlic, tomatoes, bell peppers (for filling), spices (cumin, oregano), cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request *without* the traditional flour batter (sin rebozar). Verify the filling does not contain rice or potatoes. Confirm the sauce is not thickened with masa or flour and does not have added sugar.
Watch out for
Traditional batter is high carb. Filling often contains rice or potatoes. Sauces are frequently thickened with masa or flour and may contain hidden sugars from tomatoes or other ingredients. Large amounts of high-carb vegetables in filling.
