Causa de Palta con Atún (Keto Modified)
Keto Tuna Causa (Avocado Base with Tuna Salad)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm the base is made entirely from avocado and contains no potato whatsoever. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Peruvian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly take on the classic layered causa, replacing the traditional potato base with a creamy, seasoned avocado purée, layered with a savory tuna salad.
Key ingredients
Avocados, canned tuna (in oil or water), mayonnaise, red onion, celery, lime juice, ají amarillo paste (optional, for color and mild spice), salt, black pepper. Garnish with hard-boiled egg and olives.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm the base is made entirely from avocado and contains no potato whatsoever. Ensure the tuna salad is mayo-based and free of high-carb fillers.
Watch out for
Risk of potato being mixed into the avocado base, or hidden sugars in the mayonnaise or ají paste.
