🧂 食材
- 4 large Ripe plantains(peeled and sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil(for frying)

Ensure plantains are ripe (yellow with black spots) for maximum sweetness.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

Remove fried plantains from the skillet using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Arrange the fried plantains on a serving platter.
💡 专业技巧: Serve warm for the best experience. - 6
Dollop each plantain slice with natilla and sprinkle with grated queso blanco.
