We saw this photo on Tajín’s Facebook page, but couldn’t find a recipe.
Fortunately, it’s not too difficult to slice bell peppers and drop an egg inside each slice—along with some mildly spicy Tajín seasoning (it’s a cayenne, lime and salt blend).
We thought: What else can we make with a bell pepper rim?
Cooked Foods
Burger patties
Melting cheeses (see list below)
Grains (mounded inside)
Savory pancakes
Uncooked Foods
If the food isn’t cohesive enough to be mounded, make the slices taller; or trim a bit of the bottom of a half or whole pepper so it will stand.
Ceviche
Sashimi
Tuna and other protein salads
