Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the sweet plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Fry the Plantains

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    Dice the avocado, tomato, and red onion. Chop the cilantro finely. In a bowl, mix the diced avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

    Assemble the Torta

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, layer black beans, fried plantains, and the avocado-tomato mixture.

    Close the tortas and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
