yellow chili peppers

🥗Healthier: jalapeños

💰Cheaper: bell peppers

Jalapeños can add heat, while bell peppers are more accessible and mild.

hard-boiled eggs

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Tofu provides a protein-rich vegan option.

Boil the eggs for 10 minutes once the water starts boiling.

Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes, checking with a fork for doneness.

Cut off the top of the ají amarillo peppers and slice them to create four fillets, removing the placenta and seeds for less spiciness.

Chop a bit of red onion.

Heat a pan and add a drizzle of oil, then add the ajíes and onion, cooking over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Once the ajíes have taken on color, turn off the heat and remove them from the pan.

In a blender, combine the ajíes, browned onion, cheese, broken soda crackers, evaporated milk, a pinch of salt, and 50 grams of oil.

Blend the mixture, adding half the oil first, then gradually adding the rest until smooth.

Taste the sauce and adjust salt if necessary, adding the reserved spicy parts if desired.

Peel the boiled potatoes and plate the dish, pouring the creamy sauce over them.
