How to make pastelon

1st step is to peel all the plantains make sure they are ripe so they'll be extra sweet :)

Next cut them length wise

This is what you have after 4 plantains all cut

Fry the plantains little by little you don't want to over crowd the pan or they wont cook properly

These are the plantains all cooked!

Next take 2 potatoes whatever your choice. I used Idaho.... peel, wash,and cut them into small cubes

Add water and salt to the potatoes and let them cook for 15-20 min or until they are fork tender

Now you'll take the ground beef and start to brown it in a large skillet.....

These are all the ingredients I used....( left to right) homemade sofrito, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, adobo, and a packet of sazón!

Start browning the meat....

Once the potatoes are done add them to the browned meat

Mix all the ingredients together :) looks yummy already!

Next put a layer of plantains on the bottom of the pan

Next mozzarella cheese!

Sprinkle a little bit over the plantains

Next you'll add all of the meat and another layer of cheese. Then the leftover plantains will go on top of the cheese and another layer of cheese will go on top!

Put it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 min. This is the end result!

I made rice with mine but you can eat it by itself or whatever u choose! Buen provecho!
