Forget chips and let crispy yuca cups cradle the guacamole this time. With lime and cheese, these creamy bites are a perfect appetizer with less mess. Try adding garlic and cilantro to the guacamole as well.

- Peel the yuca and shred it using a food processor (makes about 2 cups)
- Transfer to a large bowl. Add olive oil and salt and mix well using your hands, so the yuca is well coated with the olive oil. Add shreds and mix well
