Chiles veracruzanos

(Chipotles veracruzanos)

Chiles veracruzanos is a traditional dish originating from Veracruz and consisting of stuffed chipotle peppers. The dish is usually made with a combination of dried chipotles, onions, garlic, tomatoes, olives, capers, raisins, oil, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and chopped meat such as beef, pork, or chicken.


The onions are sautéed, then cooked with the tomatoes, garlic, olives, raisins, and capers. The meat is added to the pan, seasoned with salt and pepper, and the combination is then cooked over low heat until it becomes slightly dry. The soaked chipotle chili peppers are stuffed with the mixture, sprinkled with flour, dipped in egg wash, and deep-fried on both sides until slightly golden.


Once done, these Veracruz-style stuffed peppers are typically served with white rice and beans on the side for a complete meal.
