Peel and cut yuca into cubes.

Boil yuca in water until tender, about 15-20 minutes, with chicken, onion, cubanelle pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic added for flavor.

Once cooked, remove chicken and let it cool.

Use a food processor to shred the yuca, or grate it if you don't have one.

Extract excess water from the shredded yuca using a clean kitchen towel.

Season the yuca with salt and achiote, then cook it in a skillet over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring continuously to form a dough-like consistency.

Once the yuca has formed a dough, let it cool slightly and then knead it until smooth.

Roll out the dough to about 2-3 mm thick and cut into discs using a cookie cutter or a glass.

Prepare the filling by shredding the cooked chicken and chopping the cooked vegetables.

Combine the chicken and vegetables in a bowl, mixing well.
