Plantain Molotes Filled with Ground Beef

Lorenza Ávila
Molotes are a dish originating from Veracruz, consisting of fried plantain filled with beans, making them delicious and ideal for any occasion. But with this recipe for molotes, we give a twist to the traditional molotes by filling them with ground beef. To complement their flavor, serve them with lettuce, cream, cheese, and red onion. We recommend grinding your plantain puree very well to avoid lumps.
