Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Make the beef filling: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion and green pepper and sauté until softened and translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cilantro and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef, breaking up with a spatula to incorporate into the vegetables. Season with the adobo, garlic powder, and black pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid.
- Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium-low heat, stir in the tomato sauce, and cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside until ready to use.
- Make the plantains: Trim the ends off of the plantains, then peel.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Working in batches if needed, add the plantains and fry, turning every 30 seconds or so, until golden brown on all sides and tender enough to be pierced with a fork, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain until cool enough to handle.
- Transfer the plantains to a cutting board. Cut a slit lengthwise down each plantain, being careful not to cut all the way through. Use 2 forks to gently pull each plantain open. Use a fork, flat-side down, to press the base of the "canoe" to widen. Transfer to a baking dish and season with salt.
- Fill each plantain with ¼-⅓ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, add about ½-¾ cup of the beef filling, then top with ¼-⅓ cup more cheese. Cover the baking dish with foil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbly. Garnish with torn cilantro.
- Enjoy!
SWEET PLANTAINS
Steps:
- To peel the plantains, cut off ends and discard. With a paring knife, make 3 shallow slits lengthwise along the seams of the skin and peel away. Split the plantains lengthwise.
- Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet and place over medium low heat (plantains have a high sugar content and will burn if the heat is too high.) Fry the plantains in a single layer, until golden on the bottom then turn over with a spatula. Add the cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar and let cook a few more seconds, just to begin caramelizing the sugar.
- Just before serving, melt remaining tablespoon of butter to finish the sauce. Serve immediately.
OVEN BAKED SWEET PLANTAINS
MMMM! I love plantains, especially sweet ones. This is a lower fat method of making "maduros" without the use of oil and frying in a pan.

SWEET PLANTAINS
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence. This is a lovely dessert or sweet accompaniment to Arroz Con Pollo or another savory latin dish! I love to eat it with Lechon Asado and Black beans and rice; I think it offsets the garlic well.

Steps:
- Make the strawberry dipping sauce: Add the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a small pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes, until thickened. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
- Make the caramel dipping sauce: Add the sugar to a small pan over medium heat. Without stirring, cook the caramel for about 10 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally to loosen any clumps of sugar. Once the sugar turns dark amber in color, remove the pot from the heat. Add the butter and heavy cream and whisk to combine. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up and could burn you. 3. Add the salt and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
- Make the fries: Heat 1 inch (2.5 cm) of oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk and eggs to the dry ingredients. With a rubber spatula, stir until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the batter to a clean squeeze bottle.
- Working one at a time, squeeze the batter into hot oil. Cook for 30-45 seconds on each side until golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper wire rack over a baking tray.
- Make the marshmallow dipping sauce: Add the marshmallows and butter to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Make the chocolate dipping sauce: Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted.
- Dust the funnel cake fries with powdered sugar and serve with the dipping sauces.
- Enjoy!
