Description

Ingredients

• 3 cups canola oil for frying
• 1 green plantain
• ½ pound cooked shredded beef or any cooked meat for filling
• 1 tablespoon mayo, optional
• 1 tablespoon ketchup, optional

Directions

• Heat canola oil in a large pan.
• Peel plantains and slice crosswise into fourths.
• Fry plantains in the heated oil until slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
• With the bottom of a bottle, small pan or tostonera if you have one, press on the plantains to flatten them to about half their original size into a disk, then shape the disk into a small cup.
• Return the plantain cups to the hot oil, and fry until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove from the oil, place on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
• Fill the plantain cups with the shredded beef and top with mayo and ketchup, if desired.
• Serve immediately.
