We haven't published the LimaEasy recipe for Papa Rellena yet, but it's coming soon. Then you see that the ingredients (ground beef, potatoes, onions, garlic, cumin, paprika / sweet pepper, bread crumbs, raisins, salt, pepper, oil) are quite straightforward and can be bought in every supermarket around the world. Often a little bit Aji Amarillo paste is added. You can find it in Latin America shops, could substitute it with another mild chili or just leave it out.
