Ingredients

For 4 people

  • 3 green plantains
  • 2 cup(s) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup(s) tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup(s) olives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup(s) green onions, diced

Directions

Take 3 peeled plantains and cut them into many thin slices (about the width of two quarters stacked together.) Deep-fry them in oil until golden brown. Place them on a towel and let the oil drain. Place the plantain slices on a cookie sheet and sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the top. Then add your tomatoes, green onion, jalapeno peppers, olives, and black beans and chicken. Add the remaining cheese and bake in oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle avocado on top once done baking.
