Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the crema fresca and the cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Bring the water to a boil and lightly salt it. Add the plantain pieces, and cook until the slices are soft, about 15 minutes. Drain the plantains, let cool, and push them through a ricer. Form the mashed plantains into small golf-ball sized portions. Refrigerate the plantanos until completely chilled and rested, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Line a tortilla press with plastic wrap, and press out each piece of dough. Set aside until all the dough is used.
- Place a small wedge of queso blanco in the center of each plantain circle. Fold the dough around the cheese like an envelope. Roll the package, sealing the edges and making sure the cheese is completely enclosed.
- In a deep saucepot, heat enough oil to deep-fry the plantain packages. When the oil reaches 375 degrees F, fry the plantains until they are golden brown all over, about 2 minutes. Drain the plantains on paper toweling.
- Serve drizzled with the cumin-crema fresca sauce.

Steps:
- First, you want to roast the poblanos: you can either do this over the flame on a gas stove until skins are blistered and charred, or you can broil them (turning occasionally) until charred on all sides.
- Place hot poblanos in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, letting them steam for 10 minutes.
- Peel or rub off the charred skins and discard stems, seeds, and ribs (do not rinse peppers under water).
- Cut roasted poblanos into 1/4-inch thick strips; set aside.
- In a large heavy skillet melt together the butter and oil over medium low heat, then sauté the onion strips and salt, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the onion is browning, begin cooking the pasta by adding it to a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 7 to 10 minutes; reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain remaining and set aside.
- To the sautéed onion add the serrano, garlic, oregano, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Increase temperature to high, then add the drained pasta, reserved pasta cooking water, the crema, and the onion mixture, and cook, stirring, until the pasta is well coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Add the roasted poblano strips, stir well, then add the queso fresco cheese and toss.
- Pour onto platter and serve immediately.
- Note: cavatappi pasta is a short s-shaped pasta tube that resembles a small corkscrew.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the whole bananas or plantains on a baking sheet and bake, turning them every 10 minutes, until the peel starts to split and the inside is tender when tested with a skewer, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven but keep on the baking sheet. Carefully slice the peel lengthwise to just reveal the flesh and drizzle with some crema and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to plates to serve individually, on a platter, or directly on the baking sheet on the table. Either way, people should carve out their own banana. Serve the remaining crema and cheese in bowls on the side, in case anyone wants more.
Tips:
- Choose ripe plantains: Look for plantains that are mostly black with a bit of yellow or green. Avoid plantains that are mostly green or have a lot of brown or black spots.
- Bake the plantains until they are tender: The plantains should be soft enough to easily pierce with a fork.
- Use a good quality crema: Crema Mexicana is a traditional Mexican sour cream that is thicker and richer than regular sour cream. You can find it in the dairy section of most grocery stores.
- Use a flavorful cheese: A queso fresco or a queso Oaxaca would be a good choice.
- Serve the plantains warm: Platanos horneados are best served warm, but they can also be served at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Platanos horneados con crema y queso is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick snack or a light meal. The plantains are soft and sweet, and the crema and cheese add a rich and creamy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
