Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 plantains, peeled and broken into chunks
1 (16 ounce) can refried black beans
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 quart oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Place the plantains in a large pot and cover with water.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 minutes, then drain and mash.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the refried beans and stir in the sugar and salt, mix well then 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 or until a small amount of batter sizzles and browns in the oil.
  • Fry rellenitos in oil until browned and drain on paper towels.
  • Enjoy plain, with sugar or with sour cream.

These rellenitos were a waste of time and money. They were dry and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rellenitos turned out terrible. The plantains were mushy and the filling was runny. I'm going to have to try this recipe again.

Meh. These rellenitos were not worth the effort. They were bland and boring. I won't be making them again.

These rellenitos were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I expected. I think I'll stick to my usual recipe.

The rellenitos were good, but not great. The plantains were a little too thick and the filling was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The plantains didn't cook evenly and the filling was bland. I won't be making this again.

Yum! These rellenitos are amazing. I love the crispy plantain exterior and the tender, flavorful filling. I will definitely be making these again.

These are so good! I made them for my family and they loved them. The plantains were perfectly cooked and the filling was flavorful and moist.

I love this recipe! The rellenitos are always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a little bit of heat to the filling by adding some chopped jalapeƱos.
