Rellenitos de Platano

Guatemalan Rellenitos de Platano are fried plantains stuffed with sweetened black beans. These little morsels of goodness are then sprinkled with some powdered sugar and dipped in cream. These are best enjoyed hot and we had them with a cup of Guatemalan coffee however they would also make a lovely snack or appetizer as well. The trick to these is the plantain needs to be very ripe, the black ones are best. They have a different flavor and texture than the green or yellow ones. Another trick is to cut them in pieces and cook them with the skin on, they are very easy to peel and mash that way. Enjoy!
