Garlicky Cuban-Style Yuca Recipe

Peel the yuca and cut it into chunks.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the yuca chunks to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Drain the yuca and let it cool slightly.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add the cooked yuca to the skillet and toss to coat with garlic oil.

Season with lime juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the yuca to crisp slightly.

In a separate bowl, mix together chopped cilantro, diced avocado, and sour cream.

Serve the yuca topped with the avocado mixture and sprinkle with cheese.

Garnish with additional lime juice and chili powder if desired.
