Categories Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 plantains, peeled and broken into chunks
1 (16 ounce) can refried black beans
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 quart oil (for frying)

Steps:

Place the plantains in a large pot and cover with water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 minutes, then drain and mash.
In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the refried beans and stir in the sugar and salt, mix well then remove from heat.
To make the rellenitos, form a palm-sized amount of mashed plantains into a ball; flatten and place about a teaspoon of the bean mixture in the middle; then mold the sides of the plantain around the beans, making an egg-shaped ball.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F or until a small amount of batter sizzles and browns in the oil.
Fry rellenitos in oil until browned and drain on paper towels.
Enjoy plain, with sugar or with sour cream.
