1

Start by peeling the ripe plantains. Cut them in half lengthwise.

2

In a medium skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

3

Once the oil is hot, place the plantain halves in the skillet and cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crisp.

4

While the plantains are cooking, prepare the fillings. In a small bowl, mash the black beans slightly to make them easier to assemble.

5

Slice the avocado and chop the cilantro.

6

Once the plantains are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and let them cool slightly.

7

To assemble the tacos, take one cooked plantain half and add a spoonful of the mashed black beans, a few slices of avocado, a sprinkle of cotija cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

8

Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor.

9

Repeat this step until all the plantain halves are filled.
