Steps:
- Place the plantains in water to cover in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and mash.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the refried beans. Stir in the sugar and salt. Remove from heat.
- To make the rellenitos, form a palm-sized amount of mashed plantains into a ball; flatten and place about a teaspoon of the bean mixture in the middle; then mold the sides of the plantain around the beans, making an egg-shaped ball.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), or until a small amount of batter sizzles and browns in the oil. Fry rellenitos in oil until browned. Drain on paper towels.

Tips:
- Select ripe plantains: Choose plantains that are fully ripe and have a deep yellow color. These plantains will be sweeter and easier to mash.
- Use a sturdy pan: When frying the rellenitos, use a sturdy pan that can withstand high temperatures. A cast-iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed stainless steel pan is a good choice.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan: When frying the rellenitos, do not overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the rellenitos will not cook evenly.
- Drain the rellenitos on paper towels: After frying the rellenitos, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Rellenitos de platano are typically served with a dipping sauce, such as tomato salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
