Plantain Tacos

A very easy dinner or lunch is always Tacos of some sort. We usually eat black beans and veggies tacos, but my favorite tacos to eat with Mole are plantain tacos.
All you need is to buy some plantain (ripe very ripe), have your usual taco dinner ingredients. Here is a reminder.

• Corn tortillas
• black beans (prepare them as you usually do)
• cumin
• garlic salt
• paprika
• olive oil
• butter
• cinnamon
• 2 plantains
• your favorite salsa (in our case it was Mole)
• your favorite cheese (we love queso fresco)
  

Make your beans first since that will take a bit longer. I didn't add ingredients for making the black beans since everyone prefers beans in their own way.
Slice or chop the plantains. Gram usually chops them, and my mom slices them longways. For two people we used 2 plantains. Sprinkle garlic salt, cumin, paprika and cinnamon over the plantains. Once your beans are almost ready and you have them at a low fire, heat up another pan and once warm melt a tbs. of butter. Add a bit of olive oil (teaspoon) to the butter so the butter doesn't burn. Add the plantains to the butter and oil and sear the plantains. I like the edges of my plantains to be a bit burned so I ask for mine to be left for an extra two minutes or so.
Serve plantains and black beans as you warm up the tortillas. Add some mole to your tacos and avocado if you have some. Also some queso fresco would fit perfectly.

ENJOY!
