Tostones are a popular Venezuelan side dish made from green plantains that are sliced, fried, and then flattened and fried again until crispy. In this innovative recipe, the tostones are filled with a variety of delicious toppings, turning them into a satisfying and flavorful appetizer or snack. To make tostones rellenos, green plantains are sliced and fried until golden and crispy. The fried plantain slices are then flattened with a tostonera or the bottom of a glass, and fried again until they become extra crispy. Once cooked, the tostones are topped with ingredients like shredded beef, chicken, cheese, guacamole, or even ceviche for a seafood twist. The filled tostones are then served warm and can be enjoyed as a delicious and unique appetizer or snack. The combination of the crispy plantains with the flavorful fillings creates a mouthwatering dish that is perfect for any occasion.
