Yucca Mini-Tamales (Empanaditas de yucca)

This filling recipe features a “masa” (dough) made of yucca root instead of corn. If you can’t find plantain leaves, use parchment paper. You can also make and bake the entire recipe in a 9x13-inch pan: Layer plantain leaves in the pan. Cover with half of the yucca masa and top with filling. Cover with remaining yucca masa and bake at 350 degrees for 60–80 minutes or until set. Get the recipe.
