2 large green plantains |
1/2 cup vegetable oil or 1/2 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning or 1 tablespoon salt |
1/2 cup ketchup |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. In a skillet heat 1/2 cup of oil.
2. Peel skin off plantain by making a surface cut lengthwise and peeling to the sides (plantains can be tricky to peel).
3. Cut the plaintain in diagonal wheels about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Make sure oil is sizzling, fry plantains turning once for about 5 minutes (2-1/2 minutes each side).
5. Remove plaintains from oil.

7. Refry plantains until golden and crispy.
