Chiles Rellenos Guatemaltecos
Guatemalan sweet peppers filled with spiced beef and vegetables, fried in an airy egg batter and served with light tomato sauce.
About Chiles Rellenos Guatemaltecos
Chiles Rellenos Guatemaltecos are Guatemalan sweet peppers filled with meat-and-vegetable picadillo, coated in egg batter and fried. This profile follows Belize News Post's ground-beef branch and light tomato-sauce finish.
The filling is savoury and gently sweet from beef, potato, carrot, peas and tomato, with restrained clove and cinnamon warmth. Roasted pepper brings soft sweetness, while the airy fried batter adds richness against the bright tomato sauce.
Each pepper is plump with finely diced filling beneath a softly craggy golden egg coat. The red tomato sauce sits lightly around or beneath it rather than hiding the pepper's shape.
