- 1
In a bowl, combine the grated cooked yuca and grated cheese. Taste and adjust the salt if needed, then add the egg.
- 2
Meanwhile, heat enough oil in a pot or deep pan to fully cover the tequeños when frying.
- 3
Once the mixture is uniform, take a portion and shape it into croquettes resembling tequeños.
- 4
On a separate plate, place the flour. Roll each tequeño in the flour and set them on a rack until the oil is hot.
- 5
When the oil is very hot, fry 3-4 tequeños at a time so the oil doesn’t cool down. Fry until golden brown.
- 6
If the oil gets too hot, lower the heat slightly and continue frying the tequeños.
