Make as much as you want and eat with a plain or with a little sugar on top or with sour cream like we do in Guatemala!

Step: 1

Place the plantains in water to cover in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and mash.

Step: 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the refried beans. Stir in the sugar and salt. Remove from heat.

Step: 3

To make the rellenitos, form a palm-sized amount of mashed plantains into a ball; flatten and place about a teaspoon of the bean mixture in the middle; then mold the sides of the plantain around the beans, making an egg-shaped ball.

Step: 4

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), or until a small amount of batter sizzles and browns in the oil. Fry rellenitos in oil until browned. Drain on paper towels.
