I’m just going to be honest.  One of the things I really hate about the Whole30 is missing my weekly Mexican fix from our local restaurant.  Inevitably, I always get the Number 17: A wonderfully deep-fried, cojita cheese-stuffed chile relleno alongside a crunchy taco, refried beans and rice.  Tempting, right?

I can live without the chips and fresh, chunky salsa and the salt-rimmed margarita, but I really miss my cheesy, deep-fried chile rellenos.

As a result, when I saw these gorgeous poblano peppers calling my name at the grocery store, I couldn’t resist stuffing five of them in my bag without a clue as to what to do with them.  Finally, I came to a solution:  these Paleo and Whole30 Stuffed Poblano Peppers.

Completely freakin’ out of this world delicious, a no-brainer to make, and healthy to boot?  Yes, please!  These stuffed poblano peppers totally annihilated my craving for a chile relleno.

Please, PLEASE, wear gloves when you handle the peppers.  (I didn’t.)  I know they’re not very spicy, but they will burn your hands up later.  Trust me. *shudder*

    Is there a substitute for coconot oil I could use? I have nut allergies. It doesn’t hsve to be on this diet plan or vegan or anything.

      You could use light olive oil, beef tallow, butter or ghee. Basically any cooking fat you want.

    I found this as a pin on Pinterest. We had these for dinner last night and they were wonderful! I reduced the chili powder and served on a bed of quinoa (as we’re not Paleo). Thank you!

    But how? The post give no hint nor info of roasting. What was your experience in pre-roasting vs. not? Does it alter the flavor or texture?

    I tried this tonight. Subbed ground turkey for ground beef and topped with shredded cheese (I’m not paleo). It was very tasty and filling!

      I’m so glad you liked it! I definitely pile on the cheese when I’m not doing a Whole30. ☺️

    I would also like to know what a serving consists of…. They are wonderful! Even my family, who don’t eat paleo, love them! 😴
