Steps

1

Boil the plantains with the peel on. While they cook, roast and peel the poblano peppers.
2

Once the peppers are cleaned, stuff each one with a portion of each cheese and set aside.
3

Peel the cooked plantains and mash them until smooth. Add the egg and mix to form a dough.
4

Shape the plantain mixture into a tortilla. Dredge the stuffed chile in flour, then wrap it completely in the plantain tortilla, making sure there are no gaps so it doesn't burst open.
5

Heat oil over high heat. Once hot, add the wrapped chile. Do not move it until it floats. Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
6

Serve with apple salad or green salad as you like. Enjoy!
