Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Place a few plantain slices in the oil, and cook until lightly golden in color, about three minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining slices.
- While the plantain slices are still warm, place them one at a time between two sheets of wax paper, and flatten by hand to 1/4 inch thick. Return flattened slices to the skillet, and continue frying until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and season with salt and garlic powder.

BAHAMA BREEZE TOSTONES CON POLLO
OMG! They're like spanish chicken nachos. Amazing!!! I buy my tostones (green plantains) at my local produce store, but they can be found at any spanish market. They come "pre-cooked /frozen." Do not thaw before frying!

Steps:
- Heat vegetable oil in fryer or deep skillet over medium high heat until sizzling when a SMALL drop of water is added.
- Fry frozen tostones in batches of 5 or 6 until crispy and golden. Sprinkle with salt and set aside.
- In separate skillet heat butter over medium heat. Add chicken, cumin and taco seasoning, stirring occasionally until nearly cooked through.
- Add in bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. Cover and cook until soft.
- Stir in cheese until melted.
- To serve, top 6-7 tostones with chicken mixture. Top with a few spoonfulls of fresh salsa and sour cream if desired.
Tips:
- For perfectly ripe plantains, look for ones that are mostly yellow with a few black spots. Avoid plantains that are mostly green or have too many black spots, as they may be underripe or overripe.
- To make sure your plantains are evenly cooked, slice them into uniform pieces. This will help them cook at the same rate.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the plantains. This can cause them to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy plantains.
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also fry the plantains in a large skillet with a few inches of oil. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Serve the plantains hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include mojo sauce, ketchup, or a simple mixture of lime juice, salt, and pepper.
