Tortitas de Plátano Rellenas de Queso - Honduras traditional dish

🧂 材料

4 large Ripe plantains(peeled)
0.25 cup All-purpose flour(plus more for dusting)
4 tbsp Butter(softened)
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
6 oz Queso quesadilla or mild melting cheese(shredded)
1 cup Vegetable oil(for frying)

👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Boil the plantains: Place the peeled ripe plantains in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until very tender. Drain well.
2
Make the plantain dough: In a food processor, combine the cooked plantains, softened butter, 1/4 cup flour, salt, and pepper. Pulse until a soft, workable dough forms. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky, but be careful not to make it too dry.
3
Assemble the tortitas: Lightly flour your hands. Take a golf-ball-sized portion of the plantain dough and flatten it into a thin disc. Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center.
4
Fold the dough over the cheese to create a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal. Lightly dust each tortita with flour.
5
Fry the tortitas: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the tortitas in the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and serve: Remove the fried tortitas from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
