Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil 1 pound ground meat 1 white onion, diced 1 green bell pepper, diced ½ cup chopped cilantro 2 cloves of garlic Salt and pepper to taste 4 ripe plantains Frying oil 1 package of A Dozen Cousins Cuban Black Beans Shredded cheese Green onion, chopped Hot sauce Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat, onions, bell pepper, cilantro, garlic, salt & pepper into the skillet. Cook beef until browned and set aside. In a large pot, heat frying oil over medium-high heat. Peel the plantains. Fry whole plantains for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and let cool. Once the plantains are cool, using a knife, cut a slit down the middle of the plantain just enough to open and make space for filling. Scoop out any extra plantain to make room for more filling. Fill the plantain with a couple spoonfuls of A Dozen Cousins Cuban Black Beans. Then add ground meat mixture and top with shredded cheese. Bake the stuffed plantains in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped green onion and hot sauce.
