Boil the yuca: Place the peeled and chunked yuca in a large pot. Cover with water and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 30-45 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain well. If there are any fibrous veins in the center of the yuca, remove them and cut larger pieces into smaller, bite-sized chunks.

Prepare the cabbage slaw: In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, finely diced onion, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, 2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Vigorón: If using banana leaves, lightly warm them to make them pliable. Place a portion of the cooked yuca in the center of each banana leaf or serving plate. Top generously with broken pork rinds (chicharrón). Spoon a good amount of the cabbage slaw over the yuca and pork rinds.
