Crisps and Guacamole

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).

  2. 2

    Fry the Plantain Slices

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the plantain slices in batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.

  3. 3

    Make the Guacamole

    In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork. Stir in lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the crispy plantains warm with the taquero guacamole on the side.
