Ingredients

Special Tools

• rolling pin (to flatten plantains)

Ingredients

• 1 large green plantain (peeled and sliced lengthwise)
• 5 ounces meat: steak, chicken or pork (sliced thinly)
• 1/4 yellow onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tomato (sliced)
• 2 lettuce leaves
• 1 pinch cumin
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
• salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions

1. First, heat a pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.  Then place the sliced plantains in the hot oil for 1 min

1. Remove the plantains from the oil.  Place them on a flat surface and use a rolling pin (or a flat heavy object) to gently flatten the plantains.
2. Return the plantains to the hot oil until crispy and golden brown. Then place on a clean paper towel and set aside.
3. Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat, add the garlic & onions and cook until slightly browned. Then add meat, cumin, cayenne, salt & pepper.  Regularly mix meat and ingredients in the pan until meat is cooked through.
4. Put the meat and the cooked ingredients on a plantain slice, then add slices of tomatoes and lettuce. Spread the mayonnaise on the other plantain slice and place it (mayo side down) to top the sandwich. Enjoy!
