Alcapurria

Alcapurria is a Puerto Rican snack made with grated green bananas or taro root (or a combination of both) that are stuffed with meat, then fried. The stuffing is usually picadillo – spiced ground beef with tomatoes. If made with grated yucca, the fritter is typically stuffed with crab meat. These tasty fritters can be found at numerous Puerto Rican beach kiosks and street corners.
