<p><em>Alcapurrias</em> are famous Puerto Rican stuffed fritters most commonly served in road-side stands and in cafeterias that specialize in fried snacks, called <em>cuchifritos</em>. The dough of the <em>alcapurria</em> is made from a starchy vegetable, either mashed green plantains or grated yuca, and then stuffed with a savory mixture of ground meat or pork. The dough is formed into a cylinder shape, and then deep-fried until crisp. Here, yuca dough envelops savory pork filling to make a traditional snack that’s absolutely delicious!</p>

I made a few changes like using ground beef instead of pork and for the masa I add about a tsp of salt and 1/2 of homemade achiote oil. The rest was followed to the t and they came out amazing
