Born and raised in Chicago as a Puerto Rican, we enjoy these with thick slices of cooked pork (Jamon) instead of steak. My personal addition is a slice of avacado. This is a very easy and special traditional meal. When preparing to take out...wrap each sandwich individually in foil to help keep ingredients together...but best fresh and hot! YUM!!!
Qué Rico! I LOVE these sandwiches. They make you happy when you make them and eat them...at least they do in our house. I always made mine with chicken but the skirt steak is excellente!
I don't get it....I did not like this at all. The parts of the dish don't blend well. I also thought the directions were lacking at times.
These are excellent! Doubled the recipe and have done these twice in the past 2 weeks. First as written the second time as the "Sandwich King" on Food Network does it: with ham cheese lettuce tomato and a zesty garlic mayo (I also added avocado slices). The use of the plantains instead of bread is so versatile and I will try this with many more sandwich combinations (I'm thinking Cubano and BLT). This one is truly a keeper.
We couldn't find plantains so we had to use red-bannanas as a substitute. Structural integrity was lacking (as expected given the choice) but it was surprisingly yummy. The fried bannanas definately give it that extra something to go with the mayo. Thanks!
I made these with seasoned shredded chicken white american cheese and guacamole. They are wonderful!
Very tasty. We substituted muenster cheese for the American and served them open face. We will definitely make them again.
Sandwich de platano! Delicioso! I like to season the meat with a little bit of salt & pepper or adobo but if you are watching sodium then it's not necessary the spices add some good flavor. You can really make these sandwiches with any meat that you like. I love it with chicken or turkey breast or even some thick sliced virginia ham. Yummy!
I love it!!! sooooo good!!!! OMG i can eat these every day!!! Yumm!!! My family really enjoyed.
