Steps:
- Place yuca in large saucepan; add enough water to completely cover yuca. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 15 min. or until tender but not soft. Drain. Cool. Meanwhile, combine tomato paste, cumin and dressing in large skillet. Stir in onions. Cook on medium-high heat 3 min. or until onions are tender. Add meat and pepper; mix well. Cook 15 min. or until meat is no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
- Place yuca and cream cheese in large bowl; mash well. Add 2 of the eggs, one at a time, stirring until well blended after each addition. Gradually add flour, stirring until mixture forms a stiff dough. (If dough is too soft, mix in an additional 1 Tbsp. flour.) Shape 1/4 cup of the dough into a ball. Press a deep hole into center of ball with your finger; fill hole with 2 tsp. of the meat mixture. Reshape ball to completely enclose filling. Repeat with remaining dough and meat mixture to form a total of 20 balls; set aside. Beat remaining egg with the 1 tsp. water in shallow bowl or pie plate. Place cracker crumbs in separate shallow bowl or pie plate. Dip yuca balls in the egg mixture, then in the cracker crumbs, turning to evenly coat each ball.
- Heat oil in large saucepan on medium-high to 375°F. Carefully add yuca balls, a few at a time; cook 2 min. or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

ALCAPURRIAS - STUFFED YUCA FRITTERS
Alcapurrias are famous Puerto Rican stuffed fritters most commonly served in road-side stands and in cafeterias that specialize in fried snacks, called cuchifritos. The dough of the alcapurria 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!

Steps:
- For the Filling: Step 1 Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork. Cook, breaking up pork with wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 5-6 minutes; drain off and discard excess oil. Stir in olives, Sazón and Adobo. Cook, stirring until combined, about 1 minute more. Transfer pork mixture to bowl; transfer to refrigerator until chilled. For the Dough: Step 2 In medium bowl, stir together yuca, Sazón and Adobo until combined; set in refrigerator until chilled. To make the Fritters: Step 3 Scoop ¼ cup yuca mixture into palm of hand. Form into flat oval disk. Scoop 1 tbsp. cooled pork filling into center of dough. Fold dough over filling to enclose; roll dough in hands to form cylinder about 3" long. Place on clean work surface; repeat with remaining dough and filling (you may have some pork left over), until you have 12 yuca cylinders. Step 4 Heat 2" oil in heavy, deep pot over medium-high heat until oil registers 350°F. Add 3-4 yuca cylinders, taking care not to crowd pan. Cook, flipping with slotted metal spoon, until outside of fritter is crisp and dough inside is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F), 7-10 minutes. Transfer fritters to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve warm.
