A full plate of saice stacks rice, noodles and chuño beside the same stew, putting Spanish-introduced wheat and Andean freeze-dried potato on one plate.
Finely chopped beef is browned with onion, red chili and cumin, then simmered with peas and potatoes into a thick, saucy stew. Tarija's market cooks serve it with rice, fine noodles, chuño and a fresh tomato-onion salad on the side.
Why it's made this way: Saice is considered Tarija's signature dish, shaped by the valley region's blend of Spanish wheat farming and Andean stewing traditions.
