How to make Peruvian filled cause

The cause fill or cause Lima , is one of the most fabulous dishes that Peruvian gastronomy has.

It is a very old dish that has as protagonist the yellow potato , known in some places as the Andean potato, and the delicious and delicious Peruvian yellow pepper.

The filling of the Lima cause is usually made of tuna or of chicken. Although you can also get some that are crab, shrimp and other types of fish.

For this filled cause recipe we will use canned tuna, but you can follow all the same procedure and use chicken mechado (previously parboiled).

The ideal thing to do a Lima cause is to use the aforementioned big yellow potato (there are some little ones that are Colombian, not those), but if in your city/There is no country, you can try another type of this same tuber, the consistency may not be exactly the same, but what's more, do not limit yourself if you do not have the exact ingredient.

The chili should be fresh , but if in your region there is not, try yellow pepper paste works super well.
