Taco Shells

Plantain Filling

CHICA Pico

Method

Taco Shells Preparation

  1. 1

    Fry the Wontons

    Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the mini wontons (in batches if necessary) and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Plantain Filling Preparation

  1. 2

    Cook the Plantains

    Peel and slice the ripe plantains into thin rounds. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the plantain slices, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden and tender. Remove from heat and mash lightly.

CHICA Pico Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Pico

    Dice the tomatoes and red onion finely. Chop the cilantro leaves. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Take a fried mini wonton shell, fill it with a spoonful of the plantain filling, and top with a generous amount of CHICA pico. Serve immediately while warm.
