This iconic stir-fry of beef, tomatoes, onions, and French fries, served over rice, perfectly exemplifies the fusion of Peruvian and Asian influences in the country’s cuisine.

While the Lomo Saltado is simmering, you’ll also learn to make **Causa Limeña**, a delicious dish made from yellow potatoes, avocado, and lime. This part of the tour is not just about cooking; it’s about connecting with the flavors and techniques that define Peruvian gastronomy.
