DOBLADAS(GUATEMALA)
This makes a nice, light supper or lunch. Or cut into wedges and serve as appetizers. I'd even eat it for breakfast! Dobladas means folded and that's just what you do with the tortillas. If you can't find Farmer cheese(or queso fresco or queso de capas), use cottage cheese and strain in a cheesecloth for several hours in a cool place.

Steps:

- Heat oil in skillet on medium high heat and fry until crisp and golden on both sides.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm. Serve with salsa if desired.
- Enjoy!
- Note:.
- Many times it's served with cabbage, salsa, and queso on top (you can use the same cheese you put inside).
Tips:
- Choose ripe plantains. Look for plantains that are bright yellow with no blemishes. Avoid plantains that are green or have brown spots.
- Use a heavy skillet or griddle. This will help to evenly cook the dobladas.
- Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook the dobladas in batches if necessary.
- Cook the dobladas over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Flip the dobladas frequently. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Serve the dobladas immediately. They are best when served hot.
