If you are done staring at how Citlali holds her plushies close to her CHEST, you may want to learn about her special dish. Guess what? I’m here to help you out with my guide on Genshin Impact Citlali’s special dish, its recipe, and how to cook it.
Citlali is one of the three new characters that debuted in the game with version 5.3 update.
She is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cryo element user and a Catalyst wielder who perfectly fits the role of a Sub DPS.
Other than the basic details, I will not dig much deeper into her character kit or such thing as this guide is about her special dish.
Back to the topic, every character has a special dish. EVERY EXCEPT FOR Ei—our beloved Raiden Shogun.
The same is true for Citlali. And even Mavuika, the Pyro Archon.
[By the way, if you want details on Mavuika’s special dish, check out the linked guide. Thanks!]
With all that being out of the way, here’s everything you need to know about Citlali’s special dish in Genshin Impact.
What is Citlali’s special dish in Genshin Impact?

Citlali’s special dish is called Secret Art.
A support dish that restores the max HP of a party member in your team.

It is a great dish to hoard, especially when you are not running a healer in your team comp.
Why? Whenever your party member’s HP is down, you can consume Secret Art to restore 20% of Max HP, then restore an additional 1,500 HP.

Sounds good, right?
Personally, while Citlali’s special dish is not as special as Mavuika’s Hymn of Gathered Flame, it is still a great food item.
Secret Art’s recipe

Like I have said in all of my Genshin Impact special dishes guides, every special dish in the game is nothing but a unique version of a regular dish that only a particular character can cook.
In Citlali’s case, her special dish, Secret Art, is a unique version of an existing dish called Tatacos.
Both share the same recipe, except for making Secret Art;
You also need Citlali.

That being said, here are the ingredients that you require for making Secret Art’s special dish in Genshin Impact:

How to cook Secret Art in Genshin Impact

There are two major requirements that you must meet before you can start cooking Citlali’s special dish, Secret Art.
These are:
- You must own Citlali by performing wishes on the Starry Night’s Whispers banner
- You must have the Tatacos recipe unlocked.

If you already have her and the recipe for Tatacos unlocked, head to any cooking station and interact with it.
You can find cooking stations in all major cities and towns, near camps, and in the open world.
You can also use the Adepti’s Seeker Stove gadget for quick access to cooking.

That said, once you are on the cooking menu, select Tatacos from the cooking menu.
You will find the ‘Select Character’ option on the right side of the ‘Cook’ menu.

Make sure you have selected Citlali. If not, choose her as you need her to cook the Tatacos for a chance to get her special dish, Secret Art.

Now, start to ‘Cook Manually’ or ‘Auto Cook,’ depending on your ingredients and the quantity you want to cook.
Based on the RNG, you will get Secret Art special dish.
