🥘 Ingredients

For the tostones:

  • 3 green plantains El Sol
  • 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Sea salt to taste

 

For the creamy guacamole:

  • 2 ripe avocados El Sol

👩‍🍳 Preparation:

  1. Prepare the tostones:

    • Remove and gently flatten each slice with the bottom of a glass or a tostonera.
    • Return them to the hot oil and fry again until golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  2. Make the creamy guacamole:
    • In a bowl, mash the avocados until smooth.
    • Mix in Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, onion, and cilantro.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste for a silky, tangy finish.
  3. Assemble & Serve:
    • Arrange the warm, golden tostones on a platter.
    • Serve with a generous bowl of creamy guacamole for dipping.

 

💡 Tip: Garnish the guacamole with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, or microgreens for an elegant presentation.
