1 Step 1: Add the olive oil to a skillet on medium heat then sauté the onion until translucent.2 Step 2: Add the ground beef, salt, garlic, cumin, oregano, sofrito, sazón and chopped olives.3 Step 3: Simmer and stir fry the beef. Brown all the beef then set it aside to cool.4 Step 4: While the meat is cooling, peel the yaitua and plantain then shred them with the grater blade of your food processor. Depending on the size of your food processor you may have to work in batches.5 Step 5: Change the food processor blade to the cutter blade to puree the shredded plantain and yautia.6 Step 6: Place the dough in a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight is also fine.7 Step 7: Scoop the dough using a standard ice cream scoop.8 Step 8: Place the dough ball on parchment paper then flatten into about a 3-4 inch circle. Take 1 tablespoon of the picadillo and place it into the center of the dough.9 Step 9: Lift one side of the parchment paper so the circle of dough forms a taco shape and continue rolling into a cigar shape using the paper.10 Step 10: Once it forms a cylinder press the ends together to close it off. You want all the meat encapsulated in the dough.11 Step 11: Place the alcapurrias in oil heated to 350°F until they are brown on one side then flip them over to fry the other side. You want them dark brown, not just golden brown so the dough cooks all the way through. This should take 6 or 7 minutes and feel free to flip them a couple time for even browning. Work in batches of 3 or 4 at a time depending on the size of your frying pan.12 Step 12: Place the fried alcapurrias on a plate lined with paper towel to drain.getsaucepan.com/r/e3d2c612-5295-4389-83df-aedde86c791a · Original: https://ethnicspoon.com/alcapurrias-puerto-rican-fritters/
