alcapurrias
Alcapurrias are a popular Puerto Rican snack made from a dough of green bananas and yuca, which is seasoned and shaped into a fritter. The dough is typically filled with a savory mixture, often containing ground meat, such as beef or pork, and spices. They are then deep-fried until golden brown and crispy.
These delicious treats are commonly enjoyed at street fairs, festivals, and local eateries across Puerto Rico. Alcapurrias can be served with a side of salsa or mayonnaise for added flavor. They are a beloved part of Puerto Rican cuisine, showcasing the island's rich culinary traditions.
