Ingredients

 

  • 3 large very ripe plantains
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese diced
  • cup guava paste diced
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Sugar for garnish (optional)

Instructions

 

  • Cut each plantain in half, leaving the peel on.
  • Place the plantain halves in a medium pot and cover with water. Simmer over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, until tender.
  • Remove from the water, let cool slightly, then peel. Mash the plantains with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  • Divide the mash into about 15 portions (roughly 1½ to 2 tablespoons each). Flatten each portion in your hand and place a small piece of guava paste and a cube of mozzarella in the center.
  • Form the mash back into a ball, sealing the filling inside. Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat and fry the balls 3–4 minutes, turning once, until golden brown.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the buñuelos to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot; sprinkle with sugar if you like a sweet finish.
