  • 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.
