Causa Limeno Ingredients

Method

Causa Limeno Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potato Base

    Boil the yellow potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once cool, peel the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl. Add the aji amarillo paste, lime juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chicken Salad

    In a separate bowl, shred the grilled chicken breast. Add olive oil, chopped cilantro, and salt to taste. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Avocado and Tomato

    Slice the avocados and tomatoes into thin rounds.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Causa

    In a serving dish, spread half of the potato mixture as the base layer. Top with the chicken salad, followed by a layer of avocado slices and then tomato slices.

  6. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Spread the remaining potato mixture on top and gently press down. Drizzle with Huancaina sauce and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
