Steps

  1. 1

    Place the plantains with their skins on in a pot and boil until cooked through. Once cooked, remove the skins from the plantains.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mash the plantains with the margarine and a pinch of salt. Gradually mix in the water and corn flour, stirring with a spoon, until the dough is smooth and holds together. The dough should not be sticky; if it is, add a little more corn flour.

  3. 3

    On a flat surface, lay out parchment paper. Shape the dough into small balls. Place each ball on the paper and flatten it into a tortilla shape. Fill with cheese or refried beans, fold to close, and fry over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown.
