Stuffed Chile Gueros are yellow chili peppers that you often find in Mexican restaurants. Often they are stuffed with shrimp or marlin fish. The heat of the peppers are always different. They run from extra mild up to spicy. More often than not they do have some heat in them. The sauce that goes on them is usually made with soy sauce and is very simple. Anyone can do this. This recipe is just for what you do to the chili pepper. Usually they are stuffed with shrimp or marlin but I have stuffed them with tuna before.. I think they’d be good stuffed with sardines too. I think almost any leftover meat would be good in them. Today I stuffed mine today with plain grilled tenderloin (just salt, pepper, a little oil) and stuffed it into the peppers and drizzled mine with a little bit of guajillo sauce I made. You can stuff them with whatever you like. These guero peppers come in different sizes so portions are difficult to judge. My guess is that this is around three servings for most size peppers. When I had them in Mexican restaurants the peppers seemed just heated up with the filling. I pre-roasted mine and mine are not traditional but Mexican Style.

Ingredients for around 3 servings

1 lb guero chili peppers – Use gloves – t cut and remove core and seeds

1 small onion – sliced extra thin

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

3 Tablespoons soy sauce

1 lime – just the fresh squeezed juice + plus more lime for serving

fresh crushed sea salt to taste

fresh ground black pepper to taste

1/2 cup cilantro leaves, some fine stems ok – chopped or torn

Directions

Set oven to 400 degrees F

Set up your cleaned and cut peppers with cores removed on a baking sheet. Add the onion evenly to the peppers.

In a small mixing bowl mix together the oil, soy sauce and lime juice.

The liquid you just mixed up gets poured over the peppers. Add salt and pepper to taste. This goes in a preheated 400 degree oven for around 30 minutes or until the peppers are charred some.

Stuff the peppers with whatever you have.

The peppers and onions are tasty. Finish with some fresh cilantro.

Enjoy!
