Authentic Puerto Rican sandwich that my family can’t get enough of. Wonderful because there is NO bread involved!!!

INGRIDIENT

1 green plantain, peeled and halved lengthwise

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 slice processed American cheese, cut in half

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Place plantain halves in the oil and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until they float. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Step: 2

Place plantain halves between 2 cutting boards. Press to flatten. Place the flattened plantains back in the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Step: 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic, skirt steak, onion, cumin and oregano. Cook, stirring frequently, until steak is cooked through.

Step: 4

To serve, spread mayonnaise on one of the plantain slices. Top with cheese, steak and onion mixture, lettuce, and tomato. Place the other plantain half on top to form a sandwich. Cut in half and serve!
