Whole 30 Mexican Stuffed Peppers with Spicy Chili Mayo
I’m writing this post to you at 10 pm, the night before this recipe goes live. Truth be told, I like to have my recipes written out at least a week in advance. But alas, here I am. Sleepily writing this to you and loving every minute of it.
I used to be a bit of a procrastinator, and besides parties, there wasn’t much I was interested in planning. I believe in work, hard work, positivity, God’s grace, education and all that jazz, and for most of my life, this skated me right through every obstacle. Like when I graduated college, I just kind of fell into my first real job. I didn’t stress, I didn’t send out 10,000 resumes, and when I left there, I just kind of let life float by through my career choices.
Sometimes I have no idea who this person is inside me who has airport logistics planned for a trip I’m taking in 4 months, endless binders, and I have every second of my life planned tomorrow in a timeline. I wake up daily and keep a running to-do list that gets re-written each day so I won’t forget one single thing. WHEW.
Somewhere along the lines, I started feeling guilty for being type B. So I threw myself into an extreme type A personality. I genuinely think a balance of the two is important. I don’t think my old self could run this business, to be honest. But as I write this delicious recipe for you, I’m grateful for the last-minute, haphazard, heart-felt way of completing a project.
Oh yeah and about the food. It’s SODARNGOODYOUGOTTAMAKEIT. And then go bathe in the mayo. TTFN.
LET’S GET TO IT!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED (increments & directions below in the printout – tip get everything out before starting!):
Eggs
Lime juice
Salt
Pepper
Dried chili peppers
Light olive oil
Lean ground beef ( or turkey or venison)
Onion
Bell peppers
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Diced tomatoes
PrintIngredients
- For the mayo:
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- about 4–5 dried chili peppers, toasted if desired (this brings out more heat)
- 1/2 cup light olive oil
- For the peppers:
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb. lean ground beef ( or turkey or venison)
- 1 onion, diced
- 5 bell peppers, 1 diced and 4 for stuffing
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 16oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
Instructions
- To make the mayo: Add the eggs, lime juice, salt, pepper and chili peppers into a blender. Pulse.
- Turn the blender to liquify, and gently stream in the olive oil until the mixture emulsifies and thickens.
- This should keep for 1-2 weeks depending on the age of your eggs.
- To make the stuffed peppers: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat, diced onion, and the one diced pepper.
- Let the meat brown for about 8-10 minutes.
- Cut the tops off of the remaining peppers and scoop out the seeds. Place them in a baking dish upright.
- When the meat has browned, add the chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and diced tomatoes. Mix and remove from the heat.
- Stuff the meat mixture evenly into the peppers and cover the dish with foil. Bake for 15 minutes covered and for about 5-10 uncovered.
- Serve topped with mayo and enjoy!
