Prepare the Plantains
Peel the plantains and slice them into thick rounds. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.

Cook the Beans
In a saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Prepare the Avocado
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut it into cubes or slices.

Assemble the Frijolada
In a large bowl, layer the cooked black beans, followed by the cooked white rice. Top with fried plantains, diced avocado, and pork rinds. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
