Directions

  1. Heat Wesson Canola Oil in a large skillet over medium and sauté beef 5 minutes, breaking up with a spoon.
  2. Add onion, garlic, tomato paste, salt, and pepper and cook 8–10 minutes until beef is fully cooked and liquid is mostly evaporated.
  3. Set beef mixture aside.
  4. Preheat Wesson Canola Oil in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven to 275°F, just warm enough to sizzle slightly.
  5. Combine cold water, salt, and lime juice in a large bowl.
  6. Peel plantains by scoring the peel along three sides and separating with a knife.
  7. Slice plantains crosswise into 1-inch thick rounds.
  8. Fry plantain slices 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and golden.
  9. Gently press warm slices with the bottom of a plate or heavy mug to flatten to ¼” thickness and repeat with all slices.
  10. Place flattened slices in water mixture 10–15 seconds, then remove and pat dry.
  11. Heat oil to 350°F and fry slices on both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 1 minute per side.
  12. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  13. Place fried tostones on a baking sheet, top with beef mixture and cheeses, and bake 10 minutes until cheese melts.
  14. Serve drizzled with mayonnaise, ketchup, and sprinkled with green onions.
