About

Although tequeños are native of Venezuela, Peruvians have adopted them as their own, and eat them whenever they get the chance. These fried cheese-filled wonton fingers, served with guacamole sauce, have inspired many new variations in the past few years. Here you have them filled with shrimp and served with ají amarillo sauce.
