Peel the yuca and cut it into chunks. Boil the yuca in salted water for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly before mashing.

Prepare the Yuca

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and green bell pepper. Sauté until softened. Add the ground beef or pork, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned. Set aside to cool.

Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed yuca and the mashed ripe plantain. Mix until smooth and well combined. This will be your dough.

Prepare the Dough

Take a portion of the yuca dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center and fold the dough over to enclose the filling. Shape it into a patty.

Form Alcapurias

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the alcapurias in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Fry the Alcapurias

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or salsa.
