Peel the green plantains and cut them into chunks. Boil them in salted water for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash them in a bowl until smooth.

Prepare the Plantain Dough

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened. Add the ground meat, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the meat is fully browned. Set aside to cool.

Make the Filling

Take a portion of the mashed plantains and flatten it in your hand. Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center and fold the plantain over to encase the filling, shaping it into a patty.

Form the Alcapurias

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the prepared alcapurias in batches and fry until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fry the Alcapurias

Serve hot as an appetizer or snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
