Craving authentic Puerto Rican street food? These Alcapurrias de Yuca (Cassava Fritters) are crispy, packed with savory carne molida, and taste just like home! You’ll want to make these on repeat!
Puerto Rican street food is pure comfort! Growing up, my weekends weren’t complete without a stop (or two) at the local kiosks. The menu was always packed with favorites: alcapurrias de guineos, alcapurrias de yuca, empanadillas, rellenos de papa, crispy tostones and sweet sorullitos paired with a side of mayoketchup and so much more! Each bite brought a little piece of happiness, but alcapurrias always had a special place in my heart.
Whether they are made with yuca or guineo, the seasoned filling and crispy exterior are unbeatable. Now, making alcapurrias at home is a way of recreating those memories and sharing a little taste of Puerto Rico with my family and now, with you.
